Known.
What is
known?
How much
to know?
How much
can be
known?
Knowledge.
Information.
How much
to be
had?
Capacity
to know.
Storage,
processing
power.
Levels
of intelligence.
How many
rungs?
Bird.
Cat.
Dog.
Human.
Each limited.
Limited
unto
itself.
No more,
finite.
Boxed in.
Limited
scope,
compartmentalize.
Higher the
climb
greater the
library.
How many
rungs?
How
high the
ladder be?

    so true
    and maybe if so many of us weren't so busy
    tripping each other up, to get a flimsy foothold
    on the rung above, one of us
    may have reached further enough
    to glimpse
    at those metaphysical governing rules
    in this our universal, universe
    and only source to those meaningful answers in existence...
    (I missed your dialectically questing verses dear Poet
    thank you)
