Daily
“You learn something new every day,”
my mother would say,
usually when she came across
some piece of trivia,
like a woodpecker
pecks about 120 times a minute.
Learning leads to discovery,
adventure and a better life,
like finding a new path
in the woods
or deciding you prefer pale pink
over army green.
Even uncovering
something unpleasant
arms you with knowledge
of what to avoid,
like cow patties
in the field.
Like apples,
learning something every day,
keeps the doctors away.
