Buddhist Cut-up
Cut-up from Buddhist Texts
(Dhammapada, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, tr.)


he delights
in making
mind's
delight

root undamaged
tree cut
latent suffering
returns and then ...

sensuality yokes smitten mind
wandering abandon, non-rest
becomes ending
in the world

sticky craving comes
grows wild
rains roll sorrows
off the lotus

beset
held fast
pleasure steady
fetters

rend passion's
dominant springs
firm craving
thoughts asunder
