"you don't need a weatherman...
to know which way the wind blows"
sayeth bob dylan's lyrics
all learn some innate knowledge
reasoning logic concepts
it is drawn upon at times
a lit mental spectrum
each one a different painter
choosing their concept colors
memorize is rote learning
not drawing on what's innate
to both see and understand
stan sand
