DOMINOS

Delta dicot maidenhead mold broke

into Guangzhou one thousand years past

the time of two lone stone Buddhas lost long

before human time of the first kingdom.

Guangzhou unborn, undug, unreal, waited;

patiently and seeped, silent, gently pushed

water and earth seeds of many who long

before came even the two stone Buddhas.

They were buried by muddy time to wait

flushed and erased from puny human form

who meekly made commands onto Mother,

who took not of what Confucius only

had to say, because Socrates said it

to Sam Yik, who told the artisan,

who told the Creator, who told the urn,

and the urn, living, beheld the potter.

The potter knew the half-room monk’s mind filled

universe who never waited but was,

knew of the piper of no known ditties,

so it was revealed that Truth is Beauty.
