koan arms buddhist Poems and Poetry

all a sudd-
en i grew six
arms out
my right side and
five
out my left

so i try to
stand up and be
glorified
like some ancient Bud-
dhist God
or something but the ex-
tra weight

from the extra arm
on
my right side
causes me to fall over

and when i got back
up all
those extra arms
were gone
