Not for Getting

You won’t get what you want
Unless you want something
Gettable, which is bound

To be disappointing,
Bound up in the fact world,
As it would have to be,

In which case it wasn’t
Really worth the wanting.
What can’t disappoint you,

Now that’s what you should want,
But you’d be fortunate
Just to know what that was.

Oh, you think that you do?
Know what you want, do you?
If, when imagining

Success, you can’t resist
Adding extra touches,
Then no, you don’t know it.
