Insight

One learns — through encountering
If luck has it
Or is born astute — if it doesn’t

That a machine — any machine works
The way — it works —
The only way —
It works

If it worked another way —
It would still be a machine — working
The only way
It works

Encountering — arguing
With the machine — to work
In another way —
Learning — seeing
That it will not — cannot
Is insight

From a distance — knowing
Without being ground — by the machine
Is knowledge — even wisdom —

For one’s children — one may wish
Knowledge — wisdom
For oneself —
Insight

With knowledge — wisdom
One may lead — nations
Insight — leads only
To oneself
