Buddhist For A Day

walking through a room full
easing into positioning
on the walls around the windows
and on the t.v.

learning so much
so much to forget
about a month from now
peeling the veneer

sleeping on the floor
buddhist for a day
simplify simplify
it gets busy

she was beautiful
we're talking about ourselves again
a break in the monologue
to fit in the eulogy

leaning too hard
snapping the crutch
that gives you so much
yet never enough
