Women are unkind.
They don't teach you this
In 9th grade biology
You have to learn it yourself

I was excited to see the temples
But it is actually the train station
That I remember from Kyoto
Finnish architects

Avoid the company of women
Counseled the Buddha
Still. Silent. Sitting.
Wise.

I also remember the jazz club in Tokyo
Rieko and Takahiro
Me sitting
Just one of the guys

              (I still tries)
