M-M-M-M-My Shadormas

zen master
drinks too much coffee
says to class
pardon me
leaves lotus, runs down the hall
but not fast enough
____

zen master
visits his sister
she hands him
new nephew.
our bodies are illusions
but shoulder puke real
_____

zen master
ponders the spring rain
when stupid
car breaks down.
meditation does no good--
fucking thing is shit 
_____

zen master
can control his mind
but sometimes
unlucky
erection comes at wrong time
don't stand up just yet

zen master
says souls can migrate
from body
to body.
unsightly skin condition
will end when you do

has the hots for jane
but he must
ignore this.
concentrate on breathing or
think about baseball 
_______

zen master
should avoid dairy
but didn't
and now he
hopes he will not blow sour note
while teaching flute class
______

zen master
left his trash novel
on the stand
by the bed
with just ten pages to go.
"be here now" my ass
_____

zen master
opens his chakras
to clear them
and cleanse them
wishes there was E-Z-Off
or some shit like that
_____

zen master
sleeps on a pallet
on the floor
but dreams of
room with big-ass hotel bed
escort and happy ending
_____

zen master
hates fireblossom lots
and wishes
she would stop
writing stupid shadormas
with him butt of joke
______

  5. The most awesome journey of absolute hilariousness I have ever gone on!! I can't even pick a favorite shadorma, cause all your shadormas are equally awesome!

  6. I'm bereft of speech and must go meditate on the sadness of your lack of enlightenment. (Also since the shadorma is supposedly Spanish, I am thinking zen master has really lost it. ;)) The E-Z-Off, the flute, etc all killed me--have I ever mentioned my first husband was devoured by the zen bug? He also objected to puke on the shoulder.

  8. Shay--

    The title: Did it come from that catchy song from The Knack?

    Each one was delightful. Thanks for the multiple chuckles.

  14. Ha ha ha! I love number 2 the best, but enjoyed them all.

    Zen Master
    sits on the bare ground
    and scratches
    a stray itch –
    close to true enlightenment
    (aka reality).

  15. Very cleverly done to cover most situations in life. But the zen master appears to be having the upper hand in most things!
