As soon as you open your eyes,
You are in the land of Should:
What is to be done? How do you keep surprise
From striking? Have you rightly understood?
To move is to detect
Edges and depths in which death’s shifting;
The very rays that things reflect, reflect
Instinctively your ceaseless sifting.
Perception is the seeking to survive;
Survival is the hunt in the land of Should;
Should is the midst of life — we are in bad and good;
Perception is morality, which is being alive.
