Ode to Li Po
You come to me,
Li Po,
When I'm sitting in the shade
of a poplar tree
in the park,
Watching the passing trains
stir up the fallen leaves.
I imagine your boat
upon the Río Porciúncula,
And you,
Admiring the frogs.
Such is the way of the Tao:
To make nothing
out of something
and to make something
out of nothing.
