Chasing

Why do we hope 
to find the things 
unfindable why do we
doggedly pursue our mirages 
chasing things that aren’t 
really there except in
our minds what do 
we hope to find 
that we haven’t already 
found we are all 
such foolhardy creatures forgetting 
that the tail that 
we have been chasing 
is and always has 
been attached to us 
right from the start
