too lazy to be ambitious

too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.
japon şair ryōkan taigu çok az biliniyormuş. ben de duymamıştım isimi falan zaten bugüne kadar. şu şiiriyse tam benim gibilere göre. japonca bilseydim de orijinalini okuyabilseydim keşke.

let the world take care of itself.
