FIRST THOUGHT BEST THOUGHT, 108 POEMS |
1018 SPRUCE STREET (AND K.A.) by Chogyam Trungpa
So passionate
That your lips are quivering So angry That your blood is boiling So stupid That you lost track of your nose So much so In this world of so-so So much Therefore so little So little So great Just so The beauty lies in A rose petal Just touched by Melting morning dew Beauty lies in Dragonflies With their double wings Buzzing neatly As if they were stationary Beauty lies in Majestic shoe That sits diligently While the meditators Torture themselves In a restless shiver So right Norwegian girl With her occasional professorial look Dancing with the typewriter Wife-ing Just so With her lukewarm iron How titillating (This ticklish world) Just so. If you're going to tickle me Be gentle Be so precise So that I could be amused But Wouldn't get hurt By your clawing But titillating enough To stimulate My system With your feminine Healthy shiny Well-trimmed nail Just so. The trees Grow Just so Baby ducks Learn to float Just so Mosquitoes' beaks Well-made Just so Oh you Norwegian girl Do you know how many warts On a toad's back? How many wrinkles On granddad's forehead? How many deals Steve Roth has made? Nothing to worry Everything is Just so Doesn't quite hurt But sometimes Painfully ticklish.
