Foolish, not Social
Returning home do you feel you talked too much?
Cleverness, do you feel very tired?
Do you feel like sitting quiet in the blue cottage
Burning incense, after a bath, on return?
Do you feel like wearing a human body at last
After taking off the demon's dress?
Liquid time carries moisture into the room.
Do you feel like an ananta-shayana on her floating raft?
If you feel like that, come back. Cleverness, go away.
Does it really matter?
Let them say foolish, let them say unsocial.
Commentary
Note: ananta-shayana: Vishnu sleeping on the cosmic serpent Ananta.
I like people, and enjoy being outdoors. But on some weekends, I just long to curl up with a book.. and have a cup of tea. Very antisocial and very foolish - but quite enjoyable :-)
