Uniform bindings
on your books shows lack of taste.
Uniformity
in anything is mundane.
Buddhists, Confucians
often left a chapter out
and some palaces,
by art, were left incomplete.
Three marks: sanboin, mujo, ku
are vital concepts.
Reality shows nothing
lasts; nothing’s finished;
nothing is perfect.
Serenity comes with age
and it is a flawed beauty.
