This is the second book in the [Destructive Poems] series, which comprises 100 poems grouped under the title "Destructive Poems on Enlightenment."

[Representative Poems]
No more songs of dependent origination
With the capacity to transcend
Those who ignore the principle of causality
The most formidable of all the laws
Cutting themselves off from the causes
Discarding the effects of their deeds
Receiving no influence at all
Consequences as a cause
Causes as a consequence
Free from all the Cs
They free themselves from the law of dependent origination
No vessels for karma
Nowhere for deeds or traces
Leaves that became a tree
The thing that cannot be seen, the thing that cannot be felt with five senses
Yet it is too small, as it resides within me
The thing subtle, obscure, and the most delicate
Performs the grandest task
The biggest task of connecting and merging into one
To dissolve everything into a tree, uniting all the leaves
A universe full of me
I discover myself
In unexpected venues
Not confined to just one or two places
Why am I over there?
Perhaps they are not me
There's no corner I haven’t permeated
I exist in every corner of the world
However hard I try to get this illusion out of my head, I can’t
For it is the only way to acquire the world
For it is the only way to become the universe
.
Song of fullness
There is a floor to lie down on; you even need a roof?
There is a path to walk; you even need shoes?
You possess a soul; you even need a mate?
There is a god; you even need a religion?
There is a tree; you even need leaves?
There is a process; you even need a result?
There is atman; you even need the self?
There is the cosmos; you even need a life?.
I'm in first place
Pushing everything else aside
I carefully scan my surroundings
To find if any
First place!
I found it!
I found poop!
It took me a long time to locate the poop as it is not mine
I shall clean it to commemorate this triumph
What if the second place? It's not yet tidied
By purging it, I shall claim the honor of being the first
