Leap Before You Look
but you will have to leap
like, The
you sense
if of
Look danger
here; must
from not
looks disappear
it The
gradual way
However  is
steep, certainly
and both
short
Tough
minded
men
get
mushy
in
their
sleep
And
break
the
by
laws
any
fool
can
keep;
It
is
not
the
convention
but
the
fear
That
has
a
tendency
to
disappear.
The worried efforts of the busy heap, The dirt, the imprecision,and the beer Produce a few smart wisecracke every year ;Laugh if you can, but you will have to leap.
The clothes that are considered right to wear
Will not be either sensible or cheap,
So long as we consent to live like sheep
And never mention those who disappear.
Much can be said for social savior-faire,
But to rejoice when no one else is there
Is even harder than it is to weep;
No one is watching, but you have to leap.
A solitude ten thousand fathoms deep
Sustains the bed on which we lie, my dear:
Although I love you, you will have to leap;
Our dream of safety has to disappear.
