Newcastle Tai Chi

A man of Sung did business
 In silk ceremonial hats.
 He travelled with a load of hats
 To the wild men of the South.
 The wild men had shaved heads,
 Tattooed bodies.
 What did they want
 With silk
 Ceremonial hats?

 Yao had wisely governed
 All China.
 He had brought the entire world
 To a state of rest.
 After that, he went to visit
 The four Perfect Ones
 In the distant mountains
 Of Khu Shih.
 When he came back
 Across the border
 Into his own city
 His lost gaze
 Saw no throne.

 (Chuang Tzu)
