Zhuangzi the philosopher believed
In the value of non-belief

He was untroubled by the world
Ever-easy under heaven, even

When it was in revolt
Logic and path in disarray

Full of understanding for process
And the helpless ambitions of men

One day Zhuangzi woke from a dream
In which he was a butterfly

And felt a hunger in one of his
Hundred bones, a gnawing

It was hard to pinpoint
Thing or spirit, breath or air

Is Zhuangzi dreaming of the butterfly
Or the butterfly dreaming of food?

And this world we exist in
The philosopher thought, how will water

Turn into war, death
Transform to fortune?

Was blood the hunger
Dreamt by spear?

The schism of body
A dream of earthquake?

A warm wind rustled the leaves
Zhuangzi understood perfectly

His task that day, however
Impossible, was to describe it
