grounded

what’s the price of information?

but the cost of what we once knew.

mind rivers run from source to sea

water un-retained in the force

of the current.

only the drips drunk by the ground

will remain.

clever little roots.

our knowledge stampedes us,

leaving all we know and had

come to know lifeless beneath.

is information worth

the loss?

remember the ground.

she holds on to the wisdom

she harvested.

hidden and guarded.

don’t become too saturated

to dismiss any rolling runnel.

don’t become too dry

and desperately invite any drop.

information can roll on by

sometimes.

it’s not worth

the price of wisdom.

you can’t hold it all.
