Wed., Mar. 25

Learning happens easier
when we're learning what we know,
and hearing comes the clearest
when we know what's just been said;
To get expected outcomes
is what always makes most sense,
so breakthroughs barely reigster
before they're left for dead.
An unexpected happenstance
is easy to mislay,
we pick it up bemusedly
and toss it right away.
What clings to us so closely
is the coat, the cloak of 'known',
while connections unfamiliar
are rarely made our own.
