saying No to Zen

it's a Zen thing,
i guess.

when you do the dishes,
they tell you to

be in the moment.
do the dishes.

feel the water,
the steam

rising,
the smoothness of glass,

the forks and spoons,
the edge of a knife.

be there,
listen to the clink

of things
as you scrub

and rinse,
and dry, be careful

and deliberate as you
set things aside.

be mindful as you
wash your dishes,

with only that on
your mind.

no.
