Knowing is free

Knowing things, 

knowing every thing,

is free 

When you have no other capital 

You can at least hold knowledge 

and you don't even have to acquire it 

Just pluck it out of the air

Just know

Shout what you know at the sky,

as you push your shopping cart down the street 

Yell what you know, red-faced, at your TV screen or radio 

Prattle on about what you know to millions of listeners on your immensely popular podcast

Cuz when you have nothing else, you have what you know 

Critical thinking, research, studying, all overrated and wasted efforts 

mostly serving to make you aware of what you don't know 

Why waste your time 

Just know

It's so good to know

Moment; Time Travel

I was ten years old
I was sitting on the toilet
I was thinking about time travel
I thought "If I can will myself to remember this moment in the future, it's time travel. I will have sent this moment to my future self."
It worked
I remember that time
Sitting on the toilet
That's the moment I chose

My wife's dream

I was hoping to write a poem today

My wife tells me about her dreams

She had several last night, as usual

My wife is an epic dreamer

In one she dreams that she is a superhero

one of a group of superheroes who live together in a complex

They share a parking lot with a Catholic church

There are tensions between the neighbors

and the heroes have to go to the church

and apologize

And I can't see me writing a poem that's going to be any better than that
