“City Zen”
The Diner / The waiter asks, "What would you like?" The man says, "What I had yesterday." The waiter / pauses, looks out the window, and replies, "You cannot have it." / The Park / An old man sits on the park bench watching pigeons. "What are you doing?" I ask. "Waiting," he / says. "For what?" I ask. "For them to get tired of it," he replies. / The Museum / The sign says, "Do Not Touch." A child touches it anyway. The child is not punished. The sign, / having been touched, is no longer the same sign.
