First Line: With minds still hovering above their testicles
Last Line: Is incapable of producing a lasting nirvana.
First Line: With minds still hovering above their testicles
Last Line: Is incapable of producing a lasting nirvana.

That the twitching of three abdominal nerves
Is incapable of producing a lasting Nirvana.
