In a weaving race
against three-thumbed pigs,
even a spider can finish last

THE ZEN HEN: On The Long View
To keep your barnyard
In a balanced position
The amount of your patience
Must exceed your ambition.
THE ZEN HEN: On Self-Awareness
Whatever you are, be a good one,
Unless you’re a cottonhead,
Unless you’re a Q-Tip.

THE ZEN HEN: On Diligence
If in the world’s largest pig pen
the assignment you receive is
to install a country mile of fine tile,
pay no mind if the farmer’s blind
grab a bucket, trowel, and towel
and until that floor’s all in
stay snout to the grout.
