The Wine
Michael Metivier
 
 
When the townspeople
 gave the teenaged Buddha1
 a glass of wine
 so delicious he grew
 to an unthinkable size
 and froze into a blue statue
 that shielded the town
 from a wave that broke
 upon his back
 and would have swept away
 the town if he’d not tasted
 the wine and afterward2 the people
 were overjoyed and said
 they would do good deeds
 like carpool their children to school
 more often and plant lettuce3
 everywhere while the Buddha
 melted into water and receded4
 into the calm sane5 sea.
