FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON


    Blue shorts, stained white shirt,
    street market playground of dust and dirt.


    Without the moral imperative of must
    and the enforced need to understand,
    he dances in a circle,
    holding a yellowed bodhi leaf in each hand.


    With all the self-assurance of thirty inches high,
    he has no need to wonder how or when or why.



HELLO!

NAKED

Standing under the Tree of Knowledge, 



  the man identified with his body


 
And felt naked 



And started to use the skins of other beings
to hide in.



Then he identified with his mind


And felt naked
And started to use the thoughts of other beings
to hide in.
