your situation

What's a situation except for this. It is a diamond.
A refracted space of light which appears manifold
But is in fact rigid, as tough as old boots, sprung
Like a trap. You can look at it from different angles
And it always seems different but there is no alteration
To be made to it. This thing, this situation, which is the
Shape of the soul you inherited, you grew into, which
Span its wirewool around a core you would not know you
Possessed. A brain, or a nerve or a spinal column, a limb
Or a muscle or a nail, that thing which is the you which
Is inalienable and around which the atoms swirl, composing
The thing they will say is your character, is you, is un-
Undoable. You are that diamond and that situation and all
The readings and misreadings cannot alter what you are.
So when people urge you to change, when they say, will you
Not learn your lessons, you fool, you must try to filter
That which you should learn can be altered, and that which
You should learn can never be altered for it is what makes you
You. Fool that you are.
