Classic Poem

When two horses run
inside us
another horse runs
between the two.
When we go out to riot
we run with
that one horse.
It's that horse
that goes out with us to riot,
not the two horses
on its sides.
Therefore what runs out
from us
when we halt
is that one horse,
not the two horses
on its sides.
When two bandits run
inside us
another bandit runs
between the two.
When two hollows run
inside us
still another hollow runs
between the two.
What goes out with us to riot
is that last bandit
and that last hollow.
