False Touch

Ever searching for meaning, direction:
A book, a song, a lie!
Deeply feel, weep aloud, change your life, be
Inspired, be
raped and cleansed and defiled
by the story. Let it wash you
free and make you strong!
While all the small things,
silly, weak, daily things,
inconsequential real things
leave them lay, let them be
Push them to the background, violently!
Reach instead for the faraway, the hero, the Saint,
Who will love me and won't try to change me,
not the stranger who might need me.
Throw out your sentiment! Abandon your mind! Love is for fools!
And the very wise.
