An inept official I was happy to resign
but being retired means supporting myself
too poor to go anywhere else
I return to the capital in my dreams
in a country temple when the weather turns cold
mornings make me feel like traveling
meanwhile I've rente two hectares of land
and teach the children of farmers
my siht is so dim I can barely read
but I'm relaxed and focused on the Way
now that I'm living far from the crowd
why do right and wrong still find me
