Do Not Think

for in truth
according to the Buddhist monk
to write a poem
you do not think
you just watch and then you begin to write
go outside the
enclosures
lay on the grass
see beyond the fists of your hand
break the shell
that walls the beauty inside you
you write what you see
they all think for you
