The Crossroad
A crossroads
Emerges
When we try to
Juxtapose
Our
Knowledge
And
Our
Capacity to act
On that
Knowledge.
This
Intersection
Is not
An
All-Way
Road,
Or a
Stop-N-Go
Light.
The crossroad
Exists
Because we
Tend
To learn
At a rate
That can sometimes
Be faster
Than our ability
To
Act on this knowledge.
It’s one thing
To understand how to
Lift a box,
And another
To lift it altogether.
This crossroad
Exists
To teach us
How a traffic stop
Of our mind
Works.
What our life teaches
Us
In the form of
Traffic
Laws,
We apply
In opportunities
Of
Trial and error.
The more we try,
The more we learn.
