Rating: 5.0


a centipede
must needs proceed
by synchromeshed advance

I wonder if
its Buddhist riff
is ' Show me, Master,
a Way that's faster,
and then I'll do
a one-foot dance..'

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Michael Shepherd 31 May 2009

A millipede may thus impede by factor ten the path of Zen compared with humble centipede; but standing still, nirvana will bring legless joy quite unalloyed by alcohol or drugs; then rested, free and footloose, fed on choicest fruit juice beginning, sun-warmed, to ferment; enjoying such curled-up content; don’t you envy bugs?
