Life is mostly ordinary
Eating, sleeping, rest
Once I was a teacher
Tried to do my best

Traveled to Japan
Rode the bullet train
Never been to Heaven
Never been to Spain

Been to California
San Francisco Zen
Susan Darlene Meek
Ah! What might have been

Seattle in the snow
Reno big blue sky
Something noble true
Before my time to die

              Lai la Lai!
