a simple little poem about the happy fat buddha seen in stores, who is really called hotei
be happy buddha
smile in your glass house
with painted face
on store shelves
when you are not yourself
smile anyway

oh if you had cried
"everything is only in my mind
only in my mind
only in my mind"
with tears
and sobbing

My sobbing
joyous sobbing
for you smiled
and still do
even when you are not you
