WHAT DO I WANT ?
I don't know what l really want.
I want a state and not a thing.
I want to be a man whose time
is full of work to reach good sense.

I want a state in which l feel
myself a man who can give help
to lift those dear from puzzling loss
to hear their laughter and their cheers .

I feel that life is taking us
through space inside a closed capsule
that goes so deep inside vague space,
that has no end with routine view.

The empty space has got a maze
that has no paths but just sheer void.
Where is the capsule taking us
is what l want to know or guess .
