The Wise


Do you mistake the sage for a fool,
forgetting the lotus position,
Buddha's smile

Who do you like best
the rich or the wise?

We don't need to go to India
sit cross-legged or ride an
elephant, take Ganesha
or do yoga together

Our thoughts- that column
of tired soldiers
that train of heavy goods
that flock of migratory birds

Do you mistake the sage for a fool,
forgetting the lotus position,
Buddha's smile

Who do you like best
the rich or the wise?
