Buddha Impressions

I like to think of me
as slim and taut of waist;
alas, it's not to be; I'm rather
more than less down there,
a Buddha-like expression.
I don't despair. Now I know
its me as much as the
thin fellow who erroneously
disposes my thinking;
in fact I see the Buddha
impression as rather
more
not less
refreshing
