Zen koans always strike me as incomprehensible gibberish... I hate allegory.

I recite koans, you assert non-sequiturs, he spouts random BS.

If it's really a koan, it should strike you as incomprehensible gibberish. That's a big part of the point. They're things you repeat to get at the immediacy of experience and realize that what you believe to be reality is just a mind-constructed illusion.
