I was sitting in a diner
In New Jersey, with my dad
At some point in December, and
I was telling him about how
I saw a relic of the Buddha
A tiny little piece of
What may have been bone or tooth
And I told him about how
It was important for monks
To see this
So they remembered
The Buddha was a man too
Just a man
Well, that�s great, my dad said
Because now we can clone him.
I just sat back and sipped my coffee
And stared.
Oh no, I thought.
Oh no.
