Ah!

Old Gotama fucked up his Kensho.
After glimpsing the morning star,
when he shouted, "Ah!",
laughing and weeping like a little boy,
he shouldn't have started "teaching" anybody.
He should have gone on just like that --
straight through life like an arrow --
a dirty-footed madman begging in the markets,
laughing and weeping at everything he saw,
all day long shouting,"Ah! "Ah! "Ah!"
