my dad's idealike mercury
bio accumulate
my great grandfather
my mom's dad
my auntie maude
the lies wash through
the truth resides
ideas like heavy metal
ideas don't smell
odorless colorless
nothing to fear
The truth clings
past my life
my kids my friends
bio accumulate
mind accumulate
the truth and die free
Some flee toxins
Some flee ideas
Cognitive risk
I ate Plato
I ate Gandhi*
I ate Mandela
I ate Jesus
I ate Buddha
I ate Lao Tsu
I ate Black Elk
I ate Copernicus
I ate Ayn Rand
I ate Kahlil Gibran
I ate Aristotle
I ate my Grandfather
I'm eating Bob Dylan
I'm eating Steve Pinker
I'm eating Woodie Guthrie
Their ideas
Their little bitty kernel ideas
Bio accumulate in me
elemental
