that's all you got?

i climb
the mountain
to ask
the guru
who meditates all day,
who lives
on top of the snowy
peak,
beside his cave
the meaning of life.
he smiles,
and nods.
moderation in all things
he says.
and be attached
to nothing,
or no one.
take these
words to the grave
and find happiness.
that's it, i tell him,
that's all you got?
do you realize how
impractical
and crazy those ideas
are?
aren't you cold
and lonely
up here?
no coffee, no phone,
no babes?
