"This book is evidence of a Buddha-natured child taking first verbal steps age 35, in totally other language direction than he spoke age 10, talking side of mouth slang: redneck, hippie, chamber of commerce, good citizen, Oxfordian aesthete slang, like a dream Bodhisattva with thousand eyes & mouths talking turkey."
- From the introduction by Allen Ginsberg
Haiku
The beginner in meditation
Resembles a hunting dog
Having a bad dream.
