Suburban life
we enjoy
I say my prayers
friends say Hi
flowers bloom
meals are simple
Buddha is pleased
I walk
visit friends
by the pond
then back
to 502
I go to meet Eddie one last time
then to the Tibet Center on Bowery and Houston
My father visits New Jersey
and Sandra meditates
In Chinatown Alexander is feted
all celebrate his 69th
then home
where life is steady
under Rinpoche’s gaze
