you should learn and learn first test :
in the mirror learn to look at your mouth
and open your mouth
second test talk about celestial beings
because you are afraid of yourself
not of others so forget the celestial world
fear when thinking about fruit
at night your love for fruit
third test : melons squash
no one murders you
no one while babies sleep
or shit
no one fourth test
the heavenly moons
and the baby Buddha
the beans and the nuts of the night
two kinds of world, the panic attack
as if nothing had happened
as if nothing was
when reality bites you in the nose
like the turtle of reality
like baby turtles sleeping under the ice
buried in dreams without reality
the reality of celestial fruits
smiling babies' shit
the shit of smiling babies
in Buddha's hands
the sidereal turtles
like a baby absorbing reality with its eyes...
in the mirror I am a mirror
and in the calm of the world
I am well I am dignified
in the same as for you
be worthy without your death mask
