Please explain how mind is not indivisible and yet we share mind
Leave impermanence atop the kitchen counter, cutting board and knife
Each, the uncarved block, and the short sword, or tantō, laid atop of pǔ
Answer this question, why simplicity matters, lightning strikes me blind
Success lacks value if everyone else is poor, homeless and hungry
Elucidate light that shines out of the pitch black darkness of deep strife
Enlightenment seeks clarity, carat weight, cut, and color, say wú
Xenophobic heirs of dharma, Buddha nature? Unfortunate dog
Provides old Zhàozhōu with the bile of Baudelaire, negative, angry
Lessons to learn, not from ascribing to a dog the privilege of 'no'
Answer this question, why privilege the paradox of truth as distinct
Indeed opinions matter not for zen masters, mind, nothing to know
Not emptiness, though, nor impermanence, no-self, suffering, succinct
How a poet writes, point at the moon, voicelessly, the sound of a clog
Of one hand clapping, absurd, meaningless drivel, we lap up such drool
Weened of sense, nonsense, and understanding since birth, mind is but a tool
