Would I like to be studied?
Yes, I believe I would
Once I was a teacher
Did I do some good?

Silent in libraries
Students turning pages
Plato's conversations
Slowly fly the ages

Emily alone
Mr. Markson too
Bangkok Thomas Merton
In the temple I did view

A silent sitting monk
Women on either side
Tai chi in white robes
The sacred surely hides
