Pain, My Child Bride

A song

My pain is all I have, brother--
pain is my father and my mother;
from my pain I will not hide,
for pain, she is my child bride!

She may be mild, she may be dormant--
she may be objectified, an ornament;
she may be straightforward and/or snide
but pain, she is my child bride!

She may be wicked and intense,
she may dwell in the pluperfect tense,
she may be busy tanning hides
but pain, she is my child bride!

not that hard when you get the hang of it.

Meetings, the Tao thereof

Meetings fall on the sage's day like gentle rain.
A good meeting is like a marsh or pond.
A bad meeting is like a swamp.

and a bad meeting.

Those who know, do not know.

The sage, his use of words

The sage uses arcane words like "gustatory."

He uses them incorrectly.
