two monks
on a mountain trail
one going up
one coming down
stunned
how similar their
faces looked
they didn´t know
what to do
so the down-coming monk
said, “You know, the way up is…”
“…the way down! I know!” interrupted
the up-going monk
after they passed each other,
both turned around
to have another glance
at the strange passerby
both were very surprised
that the other monk
was gone
disappeared from the face of the planet
