Not Doing

Zen has been teaching
to just do it
for awhile now,
but it used to teach
not doing,
so today
I was nearly forced
by the mind
to do nothing
for quite awhile,
and not doing
is just what it is,
like just sitting around
doing nothing,
and so meanwhile
the mind
has in it,
somewhere,
this unheard, but loud voice
which says,
"Get up off your lazy ass
and get to work!",
so a kind of restlessness
sets in,
where I am resting
but I'm not.
