Sonata

Roger Green

 They said not a word
 The visitor, the host
  and the white chrysanthemum.

 The Old Pond
 A frog jumped in 
 Plop!
  What?

 ...the listener who listens in the snow,
 and nothing himself
 Beholds nothing that is not there,
  and nothing that is.

 What is?

 What th'?  What that?What? What th'?
  s,is,is,is,is,is,is,is,is
 And I am. And I am that.
 Neither and both
 and that.

 But
 What is it?
 
 What is
 is, and I am
 This.
 What is
 is and I am that.
 This 
 is.
 What is?
 That is!
 What is!?
 What is 
 is neither and both
 this and that.

 That
 both am, am
 That and I,I,
 and neither and and
 is,is,is,is,is,is,is,is,is,
 Th'what? What that? What the? What?

 Kwatz!!
 Awake  Attend   Await
 The I in the it
 The it in the I.

 Now it is whole
 and
 All will be well
 and all will be well
 and all manner of thing
 will be well.

 Enough!
 Or too much.
