pass knowledge on
stacks of books i read
as an undergraduate
dust covered forgotten
i boxed, bagged
and shipped off
to a local thrift store
so someone else could
fall head over heels
in love with learning.

"They knew, for their own good reasons, what the world was like, and their experience acted as a filter through which any new message was tested, confirmed, rejected, challenged, and reinterpreted. Changing their minds would have meant changing the world they experienced, not simply convincing them of a new set of ideals around equality of opportunity and the desirability of a different world." - Kessler, Ashenden, Connell and Dowsett (1985)
