tea with Patanjali -
the Patriarch bends to pry
a sutra from his shoe
te med Patanjali -
Patriarken bøjer sig for at lirke
en sutra ud af skoen

walking with Patanjali -
the Patriarch admits jealousy
towards his pet clouds
gåtur med Patanjali -
Patriarken tilstår sin jalousi
over hans kæle-skyer
*
hot dog stand -
Patanjali tells the Patriarch
the sutra for sweeting ketchup
pølsevogn -
Patanjali fortæller Patriarken
sutraen for sødere ketchup
*
neti, neti* -
Patanjali shows the Patriarch
the non-being of a hot-dog
neti, neti* -
Patanjali viser Patriarken
en hotdogs ikke-væren

tea with Patanjali -
the Patriarch fishes gunas
from the sugar

af sukkeret

tea with Patanjali -

now he's not

nu er han her
nu er han her ikke
