Old Koan Blues (a retweet poem)


The traffic jam is flowing
freely; the open road
is closed.

The filled-up parking lot is full
of emptiness; the single open
space is closed to all.

I love my job with absolute
disdain; I hate my boss
with beatific affection.

I drive home to be united with my own
uprootedness; I'll go out tonight
to leave my wandering behind.

My life is like a selfsame
dream; my dreams are like
a different life.
