Observing walked on steps
and following them with precision.
Carefully retracing others' way to happiness
so you can get a taste of it too.
Hopefully, it works for you the way it did for them.
But remember,
don't style yourself a founder
of already lived in lands.
For the path is treacherous and full of unforeseen traps,
full of vultures anticipating your imminent collapse.
So when you find your way to Ithaca don't waste
your time pondering much.
As you will soon come to realize
that this world was never truly your match.
You've wasted your precious time,
chasing after someone else's catch.
