FOR J, L & K

 

Something went wrong with the routine operation --

You'd think they'd know by now to call no operation routine -- 

And I woke by the river among all the poets who've ever been

Meeting at the Orchid Pavillion to drink and write poems

And send empty glasses floating downstream.

My scrawled letters aroused much amusement -- Basho said 

"Take away his brush and find him an iPad, someone!" 

But even Li Po admired how I held my liquor.
