This is my gaiwan
No, he's 'not a guy named Juan'
My child laughs at me.
Pema Chodron said,
"Drive all your blames into Juan"
Poor Juan, I would think.
I used to wonder
"Who is this 'Juan' I'm to blame?"
I was the child then.
Forgetting the tea
It becomes cold and lifeless
my gaiwan a tomb.
I cannot blame Juan
Nor can I blame my gaiwan
Old age forgets tea.
