BUDDHA
I’m no Buddha.
I’d get leg cramps
if I had to sit like the Buddha all day.
I wouldn’t notice
kids playing or nudging
each other if my eyes
were closed like that all day.
Well, then are you the Christ?
I talk to people at water fountains.
I see sparrows and learn lessons
from the flowers of the field.
I’m ready to share my bread and wine.
But to be honest,
I’m not ready to pick up a cross each day.
