For every Bach there are a thousand Bernards,
Bauers, Bashours, & Burgmüllers.
For every Michelangelo there are many Masons,
Maruyamas, Mins, & Millers.
For each Einstein, there are countless Joe Smiths,
Erika Schmidts, & Hong Gil Dongs.
What is this thing called "genius"
appearing as a St. Elmo's f
ire of thought?
Is it merely a genetic t
wist? Or perhaps a pivotal so
cial shift that helps re
solve riddles of a given age?
It's unlikely
we'll ever decipher that mystery
yet across history's fleeting t
rails footprints beckon alluringly
before the ash of time works its magic
as masterpieces gradually dis
appear & by the sons of Somnus are vei
led.
