I'd like to meet:

I would like all things to be free of me, Never to murder the days with presupposition, Never to feel they suffer the imposition Of having to be this or that. How easy It is to maim the moment With expectation, to force it to define Itself. Beyond all that I am, the sun Scatters its light as if by accident.The fox eats its own leg in the trap To go free. As it limps through the grass The earth itself appears to bleed. When the morning light comes up Who knows what suffering midnight was? Proof is what I do not need.(Brendan Kennelly, Proof)
