Well, what's a model for -
if not to lead to 'meta'?
to actualize some more
potential, or see better.
A flag-ship phone's new model
tries to do a better job.
A model of a building
might be, before it's built..
might be to test the look
or function of roof tilt,
or just to show to others
what's in mind of architect.
A metaphor's a model
meant to lead us into more
that's realer, better, truer,
else what is a 'meta' for?
And every day I use them
when I say "This food's divine!",
or hear "Look out!", or choose when
to "Look into …" what's mine.
"Some matter to be looked at",
works for humans- you, and me,
when the matter can't be patted
we're talking abstractly
To "Look into some matter"
works for humans- me, and you,
the speaker and the act-er
bring about what humans do.
And strangely, there this morning
waking up within my tent,
I saw, and felt a warning,
to act as one who's sent
to live, to move, to walk this way
of metaphoric acts,
and see that I look through today
or go through them in fact.
If metaphors are windows,
then too, they could be doors.
but if I never look, or go,
through them, to me they're walls.
I'll just be left imagining,
and never knowing true.
It's like I've been caught in a dream,
or nightmare, sometimes too.
