Tips On Power Trips
Robert Michael O’Hearn
Knowledge may be power.. but so’s
sticking your finger in a live lamp socket.
If you don’t respect yourself enough
to ask “Why do I need to know this?”
and be more discriminating with wiring
then-n-n.. then there’s also limits
even to “knowing theyself”
and going too far might result
in being like another Icarus,
plunging into an ocean of knowledge
that was never so hot to begin with!
Knowledge may be power.. and
knowing thyself may be caution
but lately it’s been electricity
and connectivity, not love
that presently seems to make
the world go around and around
in increasing states of vertigo.
And sticking your finger out
to test the wind’s direction
never settled what’s really what.
