In a muf-fin crumb / + They found a spot to chat-ter / + and spark a fi-re +
+From Scriptures: 'they say
+ 'that feels good' around fire
+ that they had started with
+ blocks of wood that they had had
+ cut, hewn, hauled - from buttressed trees
+ that are in forests -
+ with the help of G!D
+
+ Then, ah- 'that feels good' they say
+ loudly and softly (not nasty, sweetly
+ and even surprisingly pleasant
+ . a
+ litle painful (maybe)
+ fascinating
+ intriguingly
+ breath-taking
+ and awe-strikingly
+ beautiful and mesmerising
+
+ After a while, they say to themselves,
+ shall I-
+ 'shall I do- oh, yemmy,
+ and yummy
+ -
+ shall I do a detestable thing,
+ and worship
+ a block of wood,
+ or two blocks of wood
+ or three
+ or a pile of flesh
+ or a bag of bones
+ or a sack of intestines
+ or a house for maggots
+ or a body that is white
+ with death,
+ and feels cold to the touch,
+ and is filling up with
+ termites
+ as a damp block of wood
+ grows infested with white
+ insects or moving bugs
+ in a
+ dim
+ dank
+ dark
+ yawning mouth
+ of a barn
+
+ '
+
+ Compare if you will to
+ (oh, grateful or not)
+ what the Buddha
+ said to monks (who were)
+ overcome
+ with lust
+ when
+ meditation
+ on dead (naked)
+ bodies (lily-white)
+ in graveyards,
+ exo-tic
+ excruciatingly
+ beautiful
+ corpses. The Buddha
+ said, 'it is twiching
+ uncontrollably maybe,
+ in what some call 'rigor
+ mortis' , becoming stiff
+ , swelling maybe with time,
+ filling up with insects,
+ eggs of flies hatching inside
+ body,
+ maggots crawling up and down
+ bed of body is scorpions
+ and mushrooms
+ sores are filling up in body
+ as we or you or me or them
+ look on, or speak.
+ (or something like that)
