In that way, which was a way out-
you found the way in,
which was the exit out-
to speak-polite Korean;
& watching historical-
semblance of mores,
manners of the mother tongue,
of the frenzied streets,
and banquet halls, or soju,
baek se ju-wine, &
clean streets of Seoul-
of Land of the Morning Calm,
which Old Choson-was
a Hermit Kingdom,
& I studying 12-14 C. Chi-Kung
Illustrated brush strokes,
of Chinese Oriental Medicine
of the Tao Chi arts,
I say thank-you for 2 years-
drinking tea, and Lattes-
I've moved several blocks-
to Beach St. over-looking
the LI Sound-
and the Calm of my Mother Land
by blue & white waves crashing
to rocks, where my friend, Krishitan
----threw a rock into the Islet
of the Forest leaves & trees-
and the stone bounced 3 times,
and so I learned how to breathe & see
not in vision, emptiness without
perspectival, but in real time &
reality!
