Zen Man Walking

The zen masters are all around
They have never heard of zen
These masters are easily overlooked
-sleeping on park benches
-wandering with the wind
They are quick with their tounge
Yet quicker to do nothing but sit and enjoy the day
Zen is their way of life
Not their excuse from life
They are determined to do what comes to their head
Advice to all who heed their inappropriate inspiring utterances
To know zen is to live outside
Outside prescribed boxes and treadmills
These men do it well
Without thought to zen
They walk easily
Without even knowing
They have mastered it all
