MARTIN BUBER

I'd like to leave the trees and

the forest, and the scrutiny of

others. I am tired of being looked

at up and down by empty caskets

of renown. This is a dismal world,

and one which holds nothing but 

a frugal sense of stupid juggling,

back and forth, to me.

-

Leaving the covered area vacant,

I'd like to stand aside again and 

see the wide expanse of possibility.

Be damned, these small and 

strictured things, by contrast 

now (and I, and thee, and thou).
