Unattainability
An abstract poem about abstract things,
the unattainability of any true ideal,
like any true and honest lasting love
is there and within reach for all its unattainability
and for that very reason: it would not be true
or there or honest or forever lasting
if it was not unattainable.
So there is nothing wrong in living
for such an absurdity,
or trying vainly and intrepidly to reach it
since it is there within reach
because of its consistent unattainability,
and as long as it is unattainable
it will be there and last forever,
unattainability remaining always out of reach
but for that very reason always reached for.
