Buddha-piece

I've just discovered that what I've been
doing all these years as a painter has
a niche-name, NARRATIVE PAINTING
(who knew?) Also it might even count
as VISUAL POETRY, imagine!

This is a poetry blog, but given my
fall into cursed CATEGORY as above,
I can even post the words on paintings,
right? They count? Please say yes.

Here's the language on one Buddha-piece
currently under construction:

SOME WANT, SO DON'T HAVE

SOME HAVE!

SOME ARE JUST ANNOYING

a tiny poem

Months go by (what else can they do?) and
the blog is neglected. But today something
(zazen?) urged me to offer a short poem
on zazen.


GREEN HAIR

Roshi, this sitting, so hard! Please say,
are enlightened people different from how
I seem to be?

"Oh yes: some chant mantra 'me, me!'
Some whine less loud than you,
some with green hair."
