Beware of imitation
Of the lives that you admire.
You will not live them. You will
Live your own. Admiration
Of ideas is fine. They help,
Sometimes. But when you select
Ideas to admire because,
You think, you admire their lives
As role models for your own,
You forget the disconnect
Between what to think and what
To expect. Some of the best
Ideas come from those who fought
To wrestle out of train wrecks.
