Johnny Pissoff Meets the Red Angel (fragment) — The Fugs
Ahimsa, oh Johnny, ahimsa!
In the spinning confusion, ahimsa!
In the blood of life, death, and torture, Ahimsa! Ahimsa! Ahimsa!
Ahimsa, is the seashell of Buddha.
Ahimsa, is the rose and the lamb.

And other cheery thoughts for 3am
The basket remains by the door . . .
If you appreciate what I do - this work - this writing, this art - if you think it is a valuable contribution to the human experiment on the planet - please consider throwing some bucks my way. I promise you it will all be spent on frivolity and pleasure.
