Wizard School

You went to wizard school
and walked away with top honours,
you found yourself
in all that cosmic swirling
and mnemonic debris
washed upon the shore
of cognition.

Congratulations were in order,
and shaking loose
from the waters
of  your stillbirth
you declined
attachment.

like time hanging from Dali's limpid tree,
you broke all the rules,
spurned all theories of advancement.

mmm, I think we went to the same school

although it is all a swirl of mnemonic/demonic (must use that rhyme, some time) debris. It served as gnomonic, don't worry now, I'm on it. Advancement? process? passage? enlightenment? evolution? I dunno but it sounds a bit... like promotion or progress? cheers, Jess
