intelligent things

You can’t tell 
what’s going to be 
workable and 
what isn’t.
You get into things 
that aren’t going to help 
anybody.
You can’t tell
when it’s just going to 
lead to 
more of the same 
old thing.
Nobody’s going to 
get anything 
out of it.
It’s going to end up
making everybody just more 
confused.

You don’t trust 
your instinct to tell you 
what’s right to do 
and
what isn’t.
You keep getting into the wrong situation.
You don’t know 
what to give your allegiance
to.
You’re too scattered
to gravitate to 
intelligent things.

Intelligent things just
aren’t that
interesting to you.

Your restless mind
runs you around
doing a lifetime
of meaningless 
things.

The point is,
people don’t usually
get interested in
intelligent things
because they’re so
interesting.

Usually, they’re not.

They begin to be
a little more interesting 
at some point,
simply because they
at least tell you
the truth.

It’s not true because
you heard it
from somebody who is
supposed to know
things,
and they said it.

It’s true because 
it just so happens to be
true.

Intelligent things
speak for
themselves.
