Are You the New Person Drawn Toward Me?

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

Are You the New Person drawn toward Me?

ARE you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning—I am surely far different  
 from what you suppose;
Do you suppose you will find in me your ideal? Do you think it so easy to have me become your lover? Do you think the friendship of me would be unalloy'd  
 satisfaction?
Do you think I am trusty and faithful? Do you see no further than this facade—this smooth  
 and tolerant manner of me?
Do you suppose yourself advancing on real ground to- 
 ward a real heroic man?
Have you no thought, O dreamer, that it may be all  
 maya, illusion?
