Licking honey from a razor’s blade
The eyes of the learned gouged out by books
The beauty of the maidens worn by display
The warrior dead from not knowing fear
It is ironical to see the dharma of Samsara
Celebrities deafened by fame
The hand of the artist crippled by rheumatism
The moth flew into the oil lamp
The blind man walks with a torch
The cripple runs in his wheelchair
A fool’s rhetoric is deep and learned
The laughing poet
Has run out of breath and died
The religious spin circles in accordance with religion
If they had not practiced their religion they would not spin
The Yogis spin by practicing Yoga
If they don’t have chackras to spin they are not Yogis
Chogyam is spinning, watching the spinning/samsara
If there is no Samsara/spinning there is no chogyam
In Cynical letters 22 May 1972
