It repeats
children seated
they learn and leave
comment on the method
vain approach
presented material
is disegarded
for selfish motives.

The dream recurs
nightmare if you will
speaks to the creator
at night pressed
against white sheets
recollections
past seminars
comments on films
unsuitable
for average people

Always that person
who thinks he's special
has a special calling
appeals to a few.

The creator finds therapy
treatment gives no answer
to disillusionment by day
when students have other needs
besides being seated
hands folded
to transcribe
to accept bland rhetoric.

There is always someone
some unknown public heckler
who shouts "it's vain"
the film serves itself
a tired housewife from any town
cannot make sense of it
or would they ever
want to watch.

Always that unique person
shunned by another generation
admired by few
is wanted for an approach
then abandoned by the masses

It recurs
the children, now men
seated in the public
rise to file out
create an abandoned theater
material presented
"is vain,
satisfies the self"...
they leave unfulfilled...
in search of special nourishment.
