The sense of danger must not disappear:
\nThe way is certainly both short and steep,
\nHowever gradual it looks from here;
\nLook if you like, but you will have to leap.<\/p>\n
Tough-minded men get mushy in their sleep
\nAnd break the by-laws any fool can keep;
\nIt is not the convention but the fear
\nThat has a tendency to disappear.<\/p>\n
The worried efforts of the busy heap,
\nThe dirt, the imprecision, and the beer
\nProduce a few samrt wisecracke every year;
\nLaugh if you can, but you will have to leap.<\/p>\n
The clothes that are considered right to wear
\nWill not be either sensible or cheap,
\nSo long as we consent to live like sheep
\nAnd never mention those who disappear.<\/p>\n
Much can be said for social savior-faire,
\nBu to rejoice when no one else is there
\nIs even harder than it is to weep;
\nNo one is watching, but you have to leap.<\/p>\n
A solitude ten thousand fathoms deep
\nSustains the bed on which we lie, my dear:
\nAlthough I love you, you will have to leap;
\nOur dream of safety has to disappear. <\/p>\n
