5.20
Limping and stumbling (not close to rest or busyness), / Ragged and frayed (people do not like to look);
One hundred times unacceptable, / Completely and utterly useless (opening the door is flabby, kindling the fire is wet).
Silently he knows his ground is secure (toes wiggling inside the boots); / Carefree and roaming, who would say his belly is simple-minded? (feigning foolishness while playing tricks).
Pervading the whole dharmadhātu, it has completely turned into rice (unable to spit it out, unable to swallow it);
With nostrils hanging down, he is content with full inquiry (tossing away half, scattering half).
