"Found God in a Tomato" -- Psychedelic Porn Crumpets 
from High Visceral (Part 1) [2016]

I’m barely operating
Yet a functional being
I always seemed to be vacant
Parading myself as an abductee

Then one day I was transposed
From a simple young man
To a godly tomato that held all existence
And told me that we should expand

And now the world will always revolve
Around me
I’ll wake up and I'll always be fine
Now I know
Everything always will be easy
And the way I like
I’m grateful that I held that tomato
So it could change my life
'Cause I’m different
At least I thought so

What a triumphant occasion
How to change your design
Oh, that one thought has left my head on a pillow
On my Cloud Nine
I wonder how many more fruits
Can connect to my head
I would take a papaya
Travel the world and the universe as two best friends

And now the world will always revolve
Around me
I’ll wake up and I'll always be fine
Now I know
Everything always will be easy
And the way I like
I’m grateful that I held that tomato
So it could change my life
'Cause I’m different
At least I thought so

I've found it gets harder every
Time, I count backwards in my head
Time, I’m coming back with
Time, I’m coming back with
Time, I'm not here

I’m coming back with
I’m coming back with
I’m coming back with
All my life
All my life

And now the world will always revolve
Around me
I’ll wake up and I'll always be fine
Now I know
Everything always will be easy
And the way I like
I’m grateful that I held that tomato
So it could change my life
'Cause I’m different
At least I thought so


Méta-mode transcendantal zut alors

iv. Sudden Awakening (dun wu)

Few ideas are so closely associated with Huineng’s Chan [Chinese Zen] than “sudden awakening” (dun wu). Rooted 
in earlier Buddhist and Daoist teachings, it primarily referred to statements of truth a sage made in relationship to 
specific audiences. Those that were direct and profound were given to those ready for such a “sudden” dose of reality 
whereas those that were more indirect and metaphorical were provided for those who needed to be led “gradually.” 
The difference, thus, lies in those who receive the teachings rather than the actual content of the teachings. Some 
are, as it were, closer to their “Buddha-nature.” According to later Chan tradition, Huineng advocated the (superior) 
way of “sudden awakening” in contrast to Shenxiu, whose dharma [i.e.,"cosmic law and order"] verse clearly points 
to the (inferior) way of “gradual awakening.”

This polemical distinction, however, does not capture Huineng’s full meaning. The term dun, typically translated as 
“sudden,” might better be rendered as “poised” or “ready” for some great undertaking. Those who experience such 
“sudden awakening” are those who are “keen” and “fast,” ready to awaken in action, poised to break-through to
fuller, wise and compassionate living. By contrast, those who are “dull” are “slow,” not quite as prepared or attentive 
to respond in so wise a fashion. Equally as important, moreover, is Huineng’s insistence that from the standpoint of
the “Buddha-nature,” there is no “sudden” or “gradual.” Thus he notes, “The dharma itself is the same, but in seeing 
it there is a slow way and a fast way. Seen slowly, it is the gradual; seen fast it is the sudden [teaching]. Dharma is 
without sudden or gradual, but some people are keen and others dull; hence the names ‘sudden’ and ‘gradual.’” (section 39)
