The discriminating mind.

Discrimination is when, say,

you’re offered something

And you accept it one way

or the other,

Not thinking of improving;

Then comes the Craft Gleam

And you look over to see

What’s to be to advantage,

And find it, pouncin like a Puma,

Like a Miser Hero of Gold

Cellars

& Herring

in barrels,

– And you seek to achieve

Greater satisfaction

Which is already impossible

Because of Supreme Reality

and Time

And Timelessness Entire

All conjoined & arranged & finished

By Karmas of Rue

In heavenlands remote –

You suffer & you fall,

You discriminate a ball.
