渾沌
chaos
there was once a great ruler named chaos
chaos
unlike the rulers from nearby lands
whom he often hosted
chaos had no face
his neighbours were so grateful
for his hospitality
they decided to thank him
by getting him a face
they thought how nice it would be
if chaos could eat and drink
talk and listen
and have a distinguished face
just like them
but chaos was doing just fine
without a face
and the operation didn’t go well
from chapter 7 of the Zhuangzi
