self teach

a creature of Babbitt 
may yet learn something 
but it will be 
how to synchronize 

middle mass escape velocity formula:
read a thousand thousand thousand words 
be egregious, in a manner 
mistrust mediums 

swim when the option 
stinks under a sensitive nose 
and your crawl 
will walk into a run 

rote the components 
while the mix changes 
as a regular chop 
becomes a brilliant salad
