Waterlilies if
I
had
any sense
I'd
walk
the great
way
steering
past
by-paths
and detours

Mt. Fuji
the great
way
is
easy
and flat
but
people
love
getting
side-tracked
often
their courtyards
seem
clean
and
trimmed,
their fields
running
to weeds,
their barns
echoing--
empty
they
dress
in finery,
dangling
swords,
and

stuff
themselves
owning
more than
they

need,
they're robbers--
far from
the great
way
