MIND

Number it
so you find it
so an arrow
traveling the page 
calls up memory
and you have it
know it
chew it to mash
swallow and digest it
 
Well fed 
   you say it
     repeat it
       are its expert
 
Now what? 
 
With your special cortex
    Will you flourish or perish?
Vast knowledge  
 your baggage
 Will you own it?
   Discard it?
        Despite or because?
 
Will you be? 
     Will you die?
         Will you fly
