EMERALD SUTRA: 
A Mutant Buddhist Accolade

    Da warts of da Buddha
    are in more places dan
    we can see; compose yer
    self and discover 
    da jewel
    within
    den 
    remember
    all beings
    are part of 
    a grate awook 
    ening so enjoy da f
    reckles of exist
    ence as dey fade
    into da bones
    of eter
    nutty.


An-Yi:    Nutty - that's the best word to describe this poem.

Bhäraté:  (shrugging) What can I say about nuts?

Chariya:  A lot: there are over a thousand different kinds of nuts in the world. 
          And many of them are in government offices!

An-Yi:    Yep! How many of them are edible?
