Hay-Ku of the Day (Mental Space and Leverage)

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]

(Help! Photograph)

Help! (2010) Josiah has little or no physical or mental leverage in this circumstance because what he is clinging to is behind his eyes, instead of in front of them; Companion haiku: Self-identified with thought I have no mental space or leverage.

The instant I take
Things personally I lose
Mental leverage.

When I take what I
Think to heart I lose mental
Space and Leverage.

When I take thought to
Heart I lose both focal-length
And breadth of vision.
