I freely acknowledge

     that your vague enigma

       utterly failed to overwhelm.

So now you must assess

     Some serious stigma,

        According to your peculiar realm.

But that coin

       will not buy

     A whisp of a wither

       Nor a hither of a whit

In this region of the Karmic wheel.

     So kindly take

       your delirious dither

          and your self-righteous snit,

And retrieve for yourself

     That which is truly Real.
