6537. ANTERIOR MOTIVATIONS

ANTERIOR MOTIVATIONS
You will wish to say, instead, 'ulterior', 
but I do not care for that; I'd rather this
word here  -  meaning 'near' the front
 or head. It seems to suit me better : I 
forge these strange alliances like thoughts
of Summer winds across the bay-breeze field
of marsh-grass bending. Had I been, say, Hamlet,
I would never have touched that knife  -  either. 
Before or after, in front, or behind  -  only the
thinking near to it would have been enough.
As it is, all the captivation of the motivation 
is in the quandary it presents. I want the world
to hear me, yes, I guess, but I want it all to,
just as much, touch me ever not.
