SITTING BY THE POOL IN HOUSTON

SITTING BY THE POOL IN HOUSTON

Today I didn’t go jogging
or send a check to any needy cause
do anything much to my teeth or hair
that the product sellers said I should

or any of the million things
I’m told I need to do to be a better me

There is a man
In the high mountains of India
who sits beside a waterfall all day

and says to God

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
good work, good work, good work

I had a few moments of that
