The first rule is this:
Class instruction now must be
in senryu form....
Practice opens thought;
and to have conversations
like these is the Way.

When did You first know?
How do you know anything?
Why do you not know?
Love is an action.
Love reveals not Itself,
and is not puffed up.
It takes many forms—
often, unimagined ones:
Clasp the mystery.

The last rule is this:
Do not speak too loudly of
First Senryu Rule.
(Now that you have glimpsed
the senryu They have made,
are you not wiser?)

Many visions come;
and, falling end over end,
shortly come to rest.
