I thought Zen poems
were supposed to sound wise.
Now I’m going to buy
as much beer as five dollars
can buy and drink it
right here on the sofa.
“I’ve often been criticized in England because I use a lot of material that I’ve found in books rather than “real life” whatever that might be. Reading books is quite as real as any other part of my life; therefore I can use the material, wherever it may come from.“
John Ash
