[OceanofDharma] Quotes of the Week: Mosquitoes Just So

Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

August  21, 2009

[Ed. Note: It's summer, so Ocean of Dharma is having a picnic this month. What's a picnic without mosquitoes?]

MOSQUITOES JUST SO

The trees
Grow
Just so
Baby ducks
Learn to float
Just so
Mosquitoes' beaks
Well-made
Just so....
Nothing to worry
Everything is
Just so
Doesn't quite hurt
But sometimes
Painfully ticklish


From "1018 Spruce Street (and K.A.)" in TIMELY RAIN: Selected Poetry of Chogyam Trungpa, edited by David I Rome, page 118.
