Poetic Thoughts - Camp Chesterfield - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Jul. 25, 2024

Poetic Thoughts header

In the June 1-14, 2007 issue of the Broad Ripple Gazette I wrote a column entitled, 'Impermanence.' In it I described the hilarious vibe emitted by Tibetan Buddhist monks over morning tea.
I wrote the following 2 poems on January 19, 2013 while reflecting upon that experience at Camp Chesterfield.

①

those buddhist monks
were so funny
but i don't think
they know
they are funny
they just are

②

those tibetans
tap danced
on my funny bone
and freed me up inside-
laughing, giggling,
and i didn't even
understand their jokes
