28th Chorus

The discriminating mind.
Discrimination is when, say,
       you’re offered something
And you accept it one way
       or the other,
Not thinking of improving;
Then comes the Craft Gleam
And you look over to see
What’s to be to advantage,
And find it, pouncing like a Puma,
Like a Miser Hero of Gold
                Cellars
                & Herring
                in barrels,

-And you seek to achieve
  Greater satisfaction
  Which is already impossible
  Because of Supreme Reality
         and Time
And Timelessness Entire
All conjoined & arranged & finished
By Karmas of Rue
In heavenlands remote –
You suffer & you fall,
You discriminate a ball.
