Conundrum

Conundrum

The Buddhist chef says

"When you wash the rice,

Wash the rice."

Mindfulness of task.

I brush my teeth

In a mindful way.

My nose says "Hold on!

I'm dripping now. Mindful this."

No, I'm brushing my teeth.

"I'll drip through your mustache

And into your mouth," it says.

What can I do? I'm brushing.

"Mindful of my needs, please."

Throughout my day

Nose interrupts.

Obviously nose hates

A student Buddhist

Who hates nose.

Hate does not appear

In the Buddhist student handbook.
