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.

O
O spearmint on the tongue
Balm for the throat on cold
Winter nights in Ohio!
Ovulating because you are near.
Standing ovations for your aria
In the Cincinnati opera in the zoo
Where seals opine their moans.
Otium, as Latin poets wrote. --
In odes, the most dangerous omen,
Lolling on the barcalounger,
Ogling the awesome babes,
Pralines in their prams –
Oktoberfest in Fountain Square,
With its beer and hot pretzels,
Offerings of opulent polkas
O those open sloes –
Plums to suckle, menthol
Oscillating between coals.
O for the warmth of snow!
The Ohio River froze.
