Not How Buddha Would Want to Start a Morning

There's a free evaluation in my bed

coiled under the blanket

it's natural to spring from a snake

You say the fact that I heard criticism

is proof that I always hear criticism

and if I reject your criticism that

is proof of my negativity

I liked you better in the morning before

you were reading that book about Buddha

I like it better outside the bed

under the falling beech leaves

where that patch of blue sky

does not criticize
