Being Zenful

To Be Wonderful
You Have to Ask Why, Why
A Million Times
And Remember The Answers
And Be Using The Answers
To Change What You Can, Still Knowing Why
And Change Slowly What You Can't Fast
And Change Very Slowly What You Can't Change Slowly
Then You'd Be Changeful

To Love Is To Hate?

If I Love A, Do I Hate B?
If I Love None, Do I Love Everyone?
How Can I Love My Crazyness?
And The World That Drives Me There?
My Poems Have No Synchronicity
No Rhythm, They Won't Be Beautiful
That's Beauty -- Not Complexity
Complexity Is The Way To Life

Inspiration

Inspiration Can Hit At Any Time
Once In A Decade?
Or Once Every Hour?
How Much Inspiration Can I Perspire?

I Forgot my First Poem

The Hellish Craziness of the World
A World So Slow
So Slow
So Slow
So Slow
So Slow
So Slow
So Slow
So Slow
The Craziness of the World
Has Forced me to Poetry
I'm not a Poet
It would show
