It’s not what you are
It’s what you are not
Also that you know
The distance between them
Is vast, immense
Such that to envy
Or to struggle to achieve
Is as powerless or as pointless
As is trying to overcome
The craving for tobacco
It’s what you are
Not what you are not
So forget completely
About talking clearly
In educated English
Instead
Pull together your energies
Push out your clear focus
Into the deeper realities
Of just where you are now
