> Into my metal bowl too,
hail
Yesterday I learned of Taneda Santoka and searching turned up interesting sites. One I knew from looking into Lao Tzu translations. Another site reminded me of the one student that had heard of Tanizaki JunIchiro: from Bungo straydogs. The BreezeWiki (copy of fandom's?) page taught me to read some Kanji, and some css too.

> this dog
chained always
does nothing but bark

The dog always chained
has nothing else to do but
bark bark bark bark bark
