ZAZEN

It does nothing,
sits there, immobile
and this
deeply frustrates you.
Things are not
supposed to be
absolutely still,
some motion,
however small
is required.
You stare at it,
hoping it
will move, will
shake or lift,
or even settle
lower but
it does nothing.
You sit and stare
in growing anger
absolutely still
doing nothing.
