METHOD, MADNESS, OR MOTIVATION?
That is the question.
To suffer the slings and arrows
while thinking our aim is true
is how we miss our mark.
Archery is an apt metaphor,
because arrows, when they strike
the wrong target,
sting, stick, or destroy
if we’re not careful.
Pretending we are not
the object of our own affections
is where the insanity lies.
Are we acting or in denial?
We might not know.
We might not see
our method or motivation
as desire running the show,
the drama, drawing
the bow back, and not the archer
or actor-playwright at work.
Questions are good,
we should let them
guide our actions,
be our stage directions.
The play is not the thing.
Life, reality, authenticity are.
