Master
 
the student asked
 
Is indulgence in the pursuit of understanding truly indulgence?
 
This question
 
replied the master
 
Smells more like whiskey than
I do
 
But Master
 
replied the student
 
Suppose a man, with a cancer, say, is soon to die...
 
Don't be a dickweed
 
replied he, knowing-one
 
That shit's invented by the government
 
Like college, or money
 
Whereupon he was enlightened.
