Hobgoblin of Heliotropic Minds

To go on towards the light,
Scatter it, as plant tissues
Scatter incoming wavelengths

Through the gaps between
Their cells to steer themselves.
The sunflower nods wisely

At this sage advice. You see?
Take everything pouring in,
Ping it around the empty

Patches in your stems of thought,
And compare the densities
To each other. Track stronger.

It’s meant to give you direction.
It’s not meant to make you smarter.
