Oblique Obligations

So the first thing I try's to write a new document

I find it is as easy as always - and not a bind on 

that fragile self-image where I'm held in thrall to 

whomever I thought I was; there in an instant a 

vision appraises me as I am - I see this version 

isn't given over to self-delusion, unusual for me, 

and I agree it does disconcert to be so damned 

complacent about it without being overly fazed 

But it is the way it was always going to be, now 

I must get used to this new sense of proportion 

without becoming addicted - it won't be all that 

easy to not be wooed disdainfully, so I must be 

a Devil's advocate if I'm to survive a regime too 

amazing be other than obliquely obvious
