May I not be limited by habits and tendencies
Tendencies (tendens) is a
Stretching to, towards, but
Back to well-known things
And like a spoilt child
Knows only when it is
Satisfied or crossed
Much experienced habit
Habituates the mind and
Catalyses the actions that follow
Like wine that permeates
The wood of its cask
Habit treacles through
The deep structures of
Unchangeable personality
And personal identity
