if you see authenticity on the road
take out your can of spray paint
and write I WOZ HERE
on his face in orange day-glo colors.
if you see authenticity on the road
put your siren on and flash your lights
and pull him over for speeding
tell him you accept bribes
and then look him directly in the eyes
if you see authenticity on the road
tackle him, muss up his hair
if you see authenticity on the road,
stand very still behind a tree
until he disappears over the horizon.
never confuse authenticity with genuineness
and never confuse pedigree with the dharma
and never confuse appearance with reality
