third uncle said,
"100% positively true:
toast and jam is buddha!"

universe on dog hair tip
one drop is big ocean
iron mountain, speck of dust.

best to turn off worry machine
fill up car with gas
drive until empty.

(ji bo, 2009)

nature abhors
a vacuum
cleaner.

....

her breath-
a mist
circling the moon.

....

when falling down
hole
best to carry ladder;
when sky-diving
best to carry wings;
when sword fighting
best to carry doctor;
when driving race car
best to carry insurance;
when waging war
best to carry priest -

monkey see, monkey do.
point flashlight at Big Dipper
say, "beam me up!"

(ji bo, 2009)

squirrel takes mid-day nap
on pine railing
chin on paw
eyes cracked like old paint
ears like ice cream cones
tail like redwood tree.
what is squirrel thinking?

what is universe thinking?
what is cloud thinking?
what is God thinking?
what?

(ji bo, 2009)

....

main goal:
write two million poems
in one lifetime
send to outer space
on laser beam
drink sake and wait for reply.

no reply?

on last day of life
burn all poems
bury ashes in hole
plant dogwood tree
see what happens.
