Prayer
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva,
I’m putting you in this poem
to sound more like Allen Ginsberg.
Kannon Bodhisattva,
I just cleaned the toilet
then looked at myself in the mirror.
Jizo Bodhisattva,
protector of travelers & children,
I am a wandering boy putting distance
between himself & his past.
I worry less about the
ten thousand things
than I used to,
but let’s not kid ourselves.
