Listen to me. You are wrong about a few things.
I am wrong about many things. But I’m not protecting
Wrongs. I’m learning. Can you feel yourself changing?
I’ve seen people hold on to wrong views as if falsity were a dear child
And when their wrong view is questioned they go absolutely wild—
Which shows how much they confuse truth and feeling.
Don’t be like that. We never know how much brainwashing
There is. There is a lot. That’s why learning
Is so important to me,
Why I play the single note patiently,
And why the note’s tempo pushes me,
And why the note almost cries
In a far silence before it dies,
As harmony rescues a note from the many.
We measure life by the improvement of poetry.
Will you live blindly and resentfully?
Listen to this. And then I will love you.
