Feng Shui

I looked for some loopholes
marveling how a little
convex mirror over
the front door
could drive away
the bad chops of a
neighbor or passerby.

I marveled at how
a handful of rice thrown
high in the air could
cleanse and bolster my
health and peace
of mind.

If I am at the stove
my back is to the door.
I need a mirror to see behind
or a chime hung with
ribbons in multiples of 9
to protect me while I
stir the soup.

Chi can escape down
your toliet
or sink.
So keep the bathroom
door closed
and the seat
down.
