I present a poem.
"Try"
You'll have to try
A couple of times; its not
That I'm slow, I am
A pretty smart guy
Just On a very few subjects.
Humans are interesting. We
Are interesting, don't you think?
I can understand time, yet miss
The unerring placement of
Your soft left hand upon
My cheek.
Try again, just a couple
Of times and this I know
I'll notice sooner or later
That warmth you possessed
Or the shape you occupied, your
Radiant symmetry.
O I will notice, love
Sooner or later
I've tabulated my behavior:
Selfishly squandering time alone
Distance from others (physically)
Distance from others (emotionally)
Preoccupation with the undaily innane...
Try again. To the ear or pinky toe
A pinch, to the knee a knock,
Or to these alien lips...
A fist to the solar plexus.
Try again; you'll notice
Sooner than later I
Will knock,
Unerringly.

That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find
a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.
You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking,
somebody'll sneak up and write "F*ck you" right under your nose.
~ J. D. Salinger
