I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

The Easy Way Out
After a humid
Arkansas day, to sit on
The back porch in rain.
Feel the prickly sting
Of saturated air, cheeks
Flush with sponge breath.
The horizon tops
Its sampan smile, bamboo splints
Cracking bones to musk.
The ink of spilled rain
Dollops running pictograms
On the kimono.
Silk bolts unscroll scones
Baked by Sistine Irish nuns
In swan sacrifice.
