Like Thomas Merton I have been to Bangkok
Even Samutprakan
Silent in Gethsemani
Temple of the Dawn

On my second date
Heard Thich Nhat Hanh
Wrote to Daniel Berrigan
Seattle for the fawn

Bangkok is quite bustling
Tuk tuks in the rain
Motorcycle taxis
I fear American fame

Passed the ball to Alex
In New York I will attack
George W. paints in Texas
******* destroyed Iraq

           But I fight back.
