THE LAND OF ADT
Not a cloud in the sky,
not a worry on my mind,
the sun is a golden light.
as I board a bus marked
OUT OF SERVICE—
and head for a country
offering down to earth
protection, a land of
smiling faces—Buddha
teaches enlightenment
for free, and every man,
woman and child can be
acupunctured, morning,
noon and night for a nickel
or a dime. Trilliums and
lady slippers are everywhere.
I think I’ll stay.
