A Busy City Street

A Busy City Street

Every day I walk along a busy city street.
every day I meet largeness of an elephant
                           and smallness of an atom
                           in the busy city street,
                           though I've never met an elephant 
                           or an atom
                           in my busy city street.

I sometimes notice greatness of Buddha
                           and littleness of jealousy,
                           though I've never noticed Buddha
                           or Jealousy
                           in my busy city street.

I often think about the emptiness of my mind
                           and the fullness of my soul
                           in the busy city street,
                           though I don't know anything
                           about my mind or soul
                           in the busy city street.

Every day I walk along my busy city street
                           where somebody sees my direness
                           and others see my pleasantness, 
                           though nobody has seen me.
