Verdicts*
Give justice a chance.
Believe what you want to believe.
You hear bargains on the brain.
All things change, even you.
Know what you're doing
Or know someone who does.
Your mistakes live with you.
You like the story you haven't heard.
Get back to me with an honest face.
We care about each other.
Give me the right anesthetic.
Thinking is neither your fault nor mine.
Don't pressure yourself or me.
Write a book.
If you've written others, write another.
Stay on topic unless there isn't one
Or one is being created as you go along.
Come back to the world you never left.
Appeal and applicant
Are nearly the same word.
Never victimize yourself
For the sake of another.
Compassion begins at home.
"The only koan that matters is you,"
Or words to that effect.
Can these words have the desired effect?
Only you can know.
