So some say it's all an illusion
We do not in fact exist
I kinda like Nagarjuna
Carnations on her wrist

Or maybe baby chrysanthemums
Toe dipped into fire
Life is often suffering
Suffering is caused by desire

But so too are children
The joys of my little life
7th grade English teacher
Please Singer Sargent for my wife

A Child's Anthology of Poetry
Taught one poem a day
The moon is a ghostly galleon
Ferry boat xie xie

         Live to write another day
