One

The logic (?) of the East where everything

Is One turns every ancient Holy Word

To sludge made up of One, archangel wing

Is garbage dump, Upanishads are turd.

Primordial the Wise Ones of the East

Were onto something accidentally.

Each subatomic particle, the least

Of them, the nth, is fundamentally

The same as our whole cosmos.  Indians knew

This “Truth,” and ribboned it in mystic wrap.

The ever-changing, never-changing slew

Of stuff is One, is all much equal crap. 

  So, you and I don’t have to parse the Whole

    Since it is known as one Big Nothing Soul.
