The typical person— Strives to become better and good Will always see that they have some advantage in the matter Enjoys art, in some form (the species-specific expression of humanity) Seeks comfort, and pleasure in its way, Seeks love, a bare necessity for flourishing survival Gives love, by instinct, causation, or personal values Would give much to have the answers to everything and all Still, in the exhaustion of panic unearthed, Constricted chest muscles, proverbial blanching ache And anguishing doubt Just them same— We will only partake In beliefs without pain

The Typical and All
The typical person— Strives to become better and good Will always see that they have some advantage in the matter Enjoys art, in some form (the species-specific expression of humanity) Seeks comfort, and pleasure in its way, Seeks love, a bare necessity for flourishing survival Gives love, by instinct, causation, or personal values Would give much to have the answers to everything and all Still, in the exhaustion of panic unearthed, Constricted chest muscles, proverbial blanching ache And anguishing doubt Just them same— We will only partake In beliefs without pain
