And how should I begin?

Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
Would it have been worth while
If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,
And turning toward the window, should say:
“That is not it at all,
That is not what I meant, at all.”
You know this one.
Or not. But you should.
