i) tired monk icons
Buddha busts, crucifixes and stained glass...nah
at most a leather Bible tucked
elbow deep under the truck seat
ii) tired monk icons
yellow twisted wire headphones
boxy tape deck whirring
battered cassette case
rock n'wrestling posters faded
but tacked tight to garage walls
iii) tired monk music - (Sony Walkman Sport Edition)
a monk's sacred music:
chanting monks from Tibetan mountain tops,
Gregorian masses, Handel...Bach?
no
just heavy beat sermons
by Beastie Boys, and old master Downie
