Let's workshop this poem about a sadhu who, sensing raised eyebrows from some of the westerners watching him suck down the food and drink they gifted him, splits a few hairs
Nepali Drunk
The sadhu’s ravenous
embrace of western gifts
did not reveal, he said,
a thirst all along:
“The question is what
one does for them, what
one trades (hours, peace,
even dignity?);
what one becomes
for and near them,
and from what consciousness
one manages them.”
“We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”—Kafka (against the safe-space cancel culture pushed by anti-art bullies, left and right)
The sadhu kind of looks like an older version of Dhalsim from the "Street Fighter" games if he'd grown his hair back out.
