Two Monks At the Temple Gate In Anji

Amidst saffron robes nail-bit hand reveals
mobile
phone

Laughing-robed companion brandishes
ice cream
cone

Shaved-headed naughty boys practice
chanting
tones

Humble golden temple gates peeling paint
stone on
stone

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
