some deep anguish is going on
some suffering imposed on them
through no fault of their own
some sadness always visible
in their eyes which they seem
nobly to have taken on for us
and which touches us or scares us
or completely embarrasses us
and we love them immediately
for their refusal to pay the price
of thinking but to stick
to instinct and inspiration
and a wild guileless life
along traditional lines
