When I started
Zen meditation
I was taught
to count my breath
up to ten
but the number six
bugged me
so then I was taught
to count to five
in Korean,
and to use mantras
in Sanskrit
or some sort of language
but I thought
that if there were
some psychics out there
that they would think
I was some kind
of Russian or Chinese spy
or something
since I live
in America
so now I am just
counting
"One, Two, Three"
for the time being
and that's pretty cool.
