Vicarious

Inspiration as a mere sop
Talent like self-contempt
Playing to the ancient walls
To the air
To nothing
As if that were everything

The old inborn habit
The restraint
The justified fear
That normal behaviour
Is not in play
Anymore

Yet still the ancient faith
In a simple kiss
As a simple cure
For all this torment
Brought about
By mere chance

And no farewell this time
Even if all of it
Remain vicarious
For opportunity seems
a mere chimera
Only fate seems in play
