   Those who are don't need to be shown.   
   So when it is shown, they nod their heads.   
   Perhaps they nod off during the show.   
      
   When those who aren't are shown   
   and they arrive at where they are going   
   then that act of the show is over.   
      
   Students are attracted to teachers as the dust,   
   mentioned in a previous section of the quotes.   
   The teacher is the magnet. The students are iron   
   ironically scattered among the dust files.   
      
   This Enlightenment is in the files filing filed   
   flung from the stars long ago waiting   
   to be found among the dust of stars   
   scattered across the face   
   of a pale blue dot by the magnet.   
      
   Tis an odd thing, two   
   say a bout the least as can be said.
