UNFEELING
A face though smiling
may not be showing happiness.
Between the lips' lining
a pain may be suppressed.
A face with tears
may not be of sadness.
It can even be an outpouring
of some joyousness.
There is no formula,
let it be noted,
for finding if a feeling
is genuine or coated.
And the best of feelings
is the "u n f e e l i n g".
Detached from everything
and moved by nothing.
(From Poems On Sentiments)
