Self-Help for the Selfish*

We seek meaning inside ourselves,

and are disappointed

with what we find there.

Our mental images are selfies:

no-one uses a word

like extraspective.

Look outwards now, or fall headlong

into the emptiness

awaiting within.

Just take a look, through your window:

somewhere, behind the clouds,

the sky is still blue.
