231st Chorus

Dead and dont know it
        Living and do.

The living have a dead idea.

A person is a living idea;
         after death, a dead idea.

The idea of living is the same
         as the idea of death.

The dead have a living idea –
Dead, it aint my fault
         I was only an idea –

Respected penitence in a shack
         dedicated to the study of Origin –

The good Buddha-material
         is not a sin-cloth –
Cloth of Light –
Beings alive indicate death
         by their jaunty work
Just as the dead indicate the living
         by their silence
                When rock becomes air
         I will be there
