Seek No More to Understand

Wiser minds pass for blind among the blind
And well they should. The waves’ true explorer
Never was a sailor, sat in a room
And wrote, and saw the waves, and thought through waves.

Was this the best sort of person? Maybe.
Hardly the worst. Not a bad lyricist
For someone for whom formulas came first.
The thing about discovery is that

It’s much harder to do than creation.
Slap any combination together
And you’ve created something. Even great
Creators, what were they but collagists?

To find out something inhumanly true
Almost borders on the superhuman.
To find part of the world that wasn’t you
Marks the one actual contribution.
