Did you look and see a particle or a wave
when was the last time you created an analogy to a
physics concept that you don't understand
or used a the second person when the first
was far more accurate, scattering tenses
in a run-on sentence and remembering that
you're not supposed to use semicolons
as much as you do because that becomes
an ego and a pride thing, yes, you went to
college and maybe even graduate school
well after you used your mind to make up
the proper grammar during those fifth
grade worksheet exercises, whose improvisation
was fed the reading of too many fantasy novels
that you consumed with abandon, not knowing
that they would poison your professional
life with delusions of grandeur, deus ex machinas
and magical answers to questions that
are far more complicated in other parts
of the library that you didn't know to seek.
