And to that other
receptacle
of karmic mendicancy
life tosses alms
wholesome and
detracting
and we receive
or place the
downturned hand
in courteous refusal
for some of us are
children
and some ancient too
the karmic callousses
in sole
and other marks of
mind
will testify
of give and take
and balance sheet
the how-far-we've-come
the
how-much-more-to-go
we cannot read
but must try:
kumatada kusalata kammeli vanne?*
