ZEN MOMENT FOR THE DAY

Beware, O wanderer, the road is walking too,

said Rilke one day to no one in particular

as good poets everywhere address the six directions.

If you can't bow, you're dead meat. You'll break

like uncooked spaghetti. Listen to the gods.

They're shouting in your ear every second.
