For Jack 

For every few miles of Earth, a prophet

not a son of man of the first or second coming

rather a son of himself, never summoning disciples

 

Does genius know itself?

Rise, piss, thumb pages, speak of any and all things ingeniously?

I have been shown genius is subtler 

genius is recognizing, from the eye's corner, the genius in others

then encouraging that shadow to become the thing casting it

 

Genius does this with a nod, a smile, the simple gift of encouragement

saying, If I can do this, you can
