noise and smoke

They walk passed gate. I hear them. I cannot see them.

Words. 

Words cannot express things;
Speech does not convey the spirit.
Swayed by words, one is lost;
Blocked by phrases, one is bewildered.


Mumon

They don’t look in. They don’t see me. There don’t know I’m there.

Words.

The voices walking road by gate do not know I am listening for the few seconds of their pilgrimage.

Words

They pass me by. I cannot grasp them. 

Rien.
