Willy


Willy

This tragic person
his life struggle
was his projection
of his small self..
We are all named Willy
so it seems.. in
 our separating culture..
Happiness is thought
to be located
in visible success
and so we seek..
 never finish seeking..
looking for happiness
found in measurement..
And when it's found
Happiness stealthily appears
awaiting our recognition
of It alone..
But.. alas.. misidentification 
then dissatisfaction and
 onward searching for
illusive happiness hidden
in each success
and in each failure
as tragedy unfolds...

reference is Arthur Miller's
"Death of a Salesman"
