Absorbing
You don’t consume a second meal
Before the first’s digested.
Your senses need some time to sort
The tastes you’ve just invested.
The same holds true for things you see
Or places where you travel.
Experience requires time
To stick, or might unravel.
When news is gotten, good or bad,
It takes a little while
To seep inside and be absorbed
In your specific style.
You cannot rush the process;
It may sometimes be quite slow,
But bombarding of the body
Or the mind’s not how to go.
