2. That Old Zen Monk
That old Zen Monk
With his crooked spine
And his crooked cane
Leaves the moment
Travels back to boyself
Standing on the edge of the ocean
Atlantic, Jones Beach, Long Island,
Stares out at the endless water
Which takes his breath away
Then a wave comes
And sucks the sand from under
His feet
