[poetry] Worth A Shot - for Kris

It is not enough to be just two ways:
Humanity means striving for too much.
I won't give up complexity, won't laze
About in Simple's hallways all my days
Because I want to know what I can touch.
How can I reach, how can I know what's real
Unless choice changes me? I can't just watch
Others have holds on life and reach and clutch
At ev'ry straw that they can grasp or steal.
I want to want the things I have and seal
That bargain by having a want that stays.
I need to want things I can't reach to touch
To test the limits of what I can feel.
