I lean towards agreeing with KM, that koans properly belong under Meditations. But, I note that 1) our Meditations usually take the form of small to mid-size essays, while the koan is usually a couple-liner (and thus the subkect of an entirely different kind of mental-rumination) and 2) the koan lends itself towards the compact, sublime brevity of the perl poem. Thus my conundrum: my brain says that the koan belongs with Meditations, but my aesthetic heart insists that they are more comfortably ranked with Perl Poetry.

Which is all to say that I've got a WAY LOT of time on my hands here, at work, where the connections are T1 and the supervision lax.
