A Viable Process

The only thing that being deemed intelligent,
And smart does...
For those into labels and the giving of titles,
Is to say their abilities to access a brain...
With a capability to connect and retrieve a thought,
Has of yet for them been adopted as a viable process!

And one taking the time to do it...
Becomes considered a genius,
For putting two sentences together!
In the most 'boring' of ways.

'I was totally captivated.
His entire speech on the mating season,
Of possums...
Kept me on the edge of my seat.
Who knew such brilliance he kept inside his mind?
Look at my hands.
They 'still' tremble.'
