do not tear the rice paper money


the monks are drinking
stone soup through their knees,
waiting for the sunrise,
for the carnival to pause at dawn,
for the searchlights to hit the stained glass window
as the signal to begin their chant
which will be broadcast live & worldwide.

behind the Wonder Bread factory
technopagans are dancing
at the church of vibe. are writing
to swami dearest with wet tipped pens
for advice on books they should buy
& leave lying around the apartment.

you are entitled
to a single phone call
and one Buddah.
