Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Zazen

my head is calm
my space is zen
i glide and i meander

manoeuver in a psychic hovercraft
i’m in my private bubble
impervious to noise around me

blissfully cut off from outsiders
their bitter words are hollow
they're out there i'm in here

they're water off my duck’s back
