Intimation

An old madman
held a lighted matchstick
in his hand and said,
"Listen, look, touch this.
This is important, it is all.
Dance it. For you'll never be the same."

Most laughed and turned--
others knew
that there was more here
than wood and fire.

Pretty much. I was in a Nietzschean mood. At least it wasn't intentional.
