It's Impossible To Imitate

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMITATE

It's impossible to imitate
nothing, yet simple
to emulate everything.
The true way is to meet
life with the sound of
one hand clapping. Bend
life as you would bake
a rice cake with the karma
of your life. I saw the moon
last night with my face
in a crater, smiling 
back at me like a fool.
