I sit in the very same chair
where my consciousness sits
and I wonder at what a queer duck
it is! I observe it doing
what it thinks thinking
is and conclude
No, that’s not thinking at all!
That’s the jammed-up compote
of several ill fit together
fruit, vegetables and a piece
of just-about-to-go-rotten meat!

It is something like witnessing while doing and consuming and spiritually it is a path closer to realization.

Very interesting, Jer! This one really does appeal to me! The conclusion of the second stanza is quite wise.

But you, my sweet, brave friend, you sit in another chair now, in another house, on another continent!!! Bravo!
