Did you see
what perturbation
profuse and unruly
proceeds after the body?
After what?
After squeezing or twisting,
after a fever or chill,
shaking or exhaustion,
lightness and warmth,
fullness and release.
Like very bad children
who have skipped school,
truant echos ripple outward,
they fall into the world
and pick up foolish points of view,
including the strange belief
that they did not come from you
and that they do not belong.
You must be a wise headmaster,
and not fall for pretense.
They will always be your students,
even if they do not study.
