Confucius and the Mercedes Benz

Here's one from 2006 -

throw down the stick
look into the river of dreams
and see the pagoda
on the western horizon
peace pagoda
rogue silence abandoned

fly to the city
out of the valley
ancient stones forgotten
they once astonished
moss covered tonics
and you were grateful
for their therapy

the Confucian paradigm
is lost in the lights
of divided families
thieves and broken boundaries
the lonely question -
how to live wisely
in the world of Mercedes-Benz
