I Need A Knowledge I.V. Drip...STAT
by J. P. DaviesI reap the benefits of your words.
When you speak and type answers
to questions I am ever asking.
Youth is a quest to tomorrow,
seeking all answers at once.
I am a sponge trying to absorb
the ocean into my being.
Thirsting, but never quenching,
for the knowledge
that is available. But is too
bountiful for my absolute
comprehension.
So force-feed me teaspoons
of Medicated Inquisitorial Oils.
I can digest these only
a morsel at a time.
In bite-size portions I'll
attempt to swallow the dreams
of others minds.
Slowly satiating an appetite
that has been gnawing in my guts
for eighteen years.
I'm still so hungry.
Feed me more.
