From The Great Man Bob Dylan

Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men

An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette”

Absurd responsibly. The Buddhist no harm principle applies here. Do not harm yourself or others when going absurd. (Maybe what I have just written is absurd?)
