THOSE I’D HELP<\/strong>
<\/strong>by Eric Chaet

Those I\u2019d help
will take no help from me
& give me none\u2014
they don\u2019t believe
that they need help
they\u2019re proud & deluded
they need help
& give me none\u2014
& I need help.

DOMAIN & RANGE
<\/strong>
My domain is a lonely, daunted point
but my range is a line whose other end is undefined.

My domain is a line I plod on back & forth
but my range is a surface
tilting left, right, up, down, diagonally, curving
now chaotic waves & storms, now rhythmic & harmonious.

My domain is the surface my neighbors & rivals,
predators, parasites, & those who care for me
briefly or for years or more
see, & believe that\u2019s me\u2014
but beneath the surface I\u2019m surging:
molten, rare, dense, magnetic, more or less\u2014
even I don\u2019t know how deep I go.

People treat one another as tho they\u2019re their domains\u2014
but I see thru their shells\u2014&, til I die, I\u2019m ranging.

I AM SINCERE
<\/strong>by Eric Chaet

I am often at a loss all day, how to proceed \u2014
til the moment I decide I need to get some sleep
to be able to cope, cunning, competitive, tomorrow \u2014
when the bed seems a trap laid for me by Death \u2014
didn\u2019t I just climb out of that bed, ten thousand times?

To the extent I can, I am transforming
first myself & my situation \u2014
then, others\u2019, too \u2014 more & more.

To the extent I can\u2019t, I am an interloper.

I acknowledge how awesome this world is \u2014
& how awesome this life mysteriously given to me \u2014
however problematic \u2014
but I am sincere, & I repudiate the paradigms.

APOLOGY
<\/strong>by Eric Chaet

I\u2019ve offended you?
You were already strong, capable, brave?
You didn\u2019t need me to tell you?

I\u2019m sorry, I was talking mainly to myself \u2014
& to anyone like I was
scrambling to survive while becoming who I\u2019d be.

& you don\u2019t need me now, either? \u2014
to focus on putting who you\u2019ve become
to its best, its wisest, its most effective use?

I\u2019m sorry, I was talking mainly to myself \u2014
& to anyone now alive, or ever, like I am.

ANXIOUS TO SERVE
<\/strong>by Eric Chaet

When I\u2019m not just scrambling to survive
I am eager to provide whatever service
I\u2019m capable of or becoming capable of
to those attempting to live righteously
who are in need of what I am able to provide
& who will do what they can to reciprocate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
