So my neighbor
came over
and he said,
"So, we're just
little bits
of ectoplasm,
but we're magic
because of our thinking
and our creativity.
What does Zen say?"
So I said,
"Zen says
that our whole body/mind
is emptiness
and this whole world
is emptiness,
and then
it goes on to say
that our body/mind
and the whole world
aren't real
and that even
the emptiness
isn't real,
so as the Beatles sang
"Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about"
so go figure that."
