More nonsense
Chapter 22
Speak to me of your love of Knowledge,
2You who were raised to do well on the test,
3Then go on to the next on the list.
4Have you felt the world as a four-dimensional puzzle,
5Coming together as you add each new piece?
6Have you wondered exactly which things one could know,
7And arrive at understanding?
8Have you ever been gripped by compulsion to know,
9The truth of some buried event,
10And then followed the trail of what’s supposed to be known,
11Through the twisting and turning of guesses and maybe’s and might-have-been’s,
12Till you know what is known,
13And still hunger for more,
14Because no knowledge is ever enough to be finally final,
15As long as there’s more to be learned?
16Have you ever discovered a miracle link,
17Between something you know,
18And something you don’t,
19A link that taught more about both?
20That’s okay.
21Really.
22It’s just that you are Harriers,
23And ignorance is a wall of your box.
