My first guru said:
Seek for a second I behind
The you you know,
You who know.
I sought and found -
Grinning like a dolphin -
I who watch myself and laugh.
My next guru said:
Seek now the third I.
I sought and found
I who do not laugh.
My last guru said:
Seek out The Eagle,
I Who Stand Aloof,
Who Soar And Fly:
The Final I.
I found another I and then
Another I, another I, another - I found
And sought beyond some final I,
Found nothing there
Save I who sought
Alone and wandering,
Between the bins,
Among the stars.
