The Pants of My Murshid


Over three decades since he last wore these,
cloth black and simple, made by a fellow student,
a seamstress – made to order, cut for Yoga
and dispensing Dharma.

By the seat of his pants I now sit in ‘em,
since three decades I wear ‘em off and on,
worn as long since they are.
My Puja-kitty likes these best for burrowing
between my legs while sitting, taking her repose
by the seat of his pants.

Am I smarter or cleverer for wearing ‘em,
did they ever enlighten me –
or is it just sent-to-mental?
I dunno, but the cat sure does love ‘em.
