From the text:

sin like a madman until you can't do anything else
no room for any more


fuck flattery success money
all I do is sit back suck my thumb


something in us always wants to cry out
someone we love knows hears


if you don't break rules you're an ass not human
women start us passion comes and goes until death


only one koan matters
you
Ikkyu is pure zen. You can find other zens, tainted zens elsewhere with which you can maintain your motorcycles!
Yummy yum yum. Don't want to give any spoilers. You already know if you'll like it or not.
