Metaphysics of the Road

Being cut off
from the awareness
of history,
of context,
may be another
stumbling block
for man.

It's oblivion,
the art of being
oblivious,
the lack of a thing
which drives you
while you do not
know it, off the road.

Reconnecting,
knowing again
what we all know
but sometimes
choose to ignore
may be what saves us,
if we choose.

Knowing
is an art,
knowing
what there is
to know
and what you
may know
yourself,
about
yourself,
that is
the thing.

That is what
we should
advocate.

It is the spirit
of leaving
no child
behind.

Quit
making
excuses.
