Live Bait

A thought. Isn’t
any ignorance bait,
for anyone willing with
remedy? Ignorance is remedied
not by ignorance (e.g. ignoring 
it), but by laying truth next

to ignorance and error

in good light. Preferably
live bait - but the fish that
pulls whole boats or fishers
under and eats them doesn’t
mind arts n’ crafts facsimiles.

That fish just loves hooks! A
tangy taste acquired, for steel barb
with line drawn taut behind

Gotcha.
Gulp

Still hungry though. 
Perchance a bigger fisher?

Perchance a bigger boat. Ignorance
metabolizes to knowledge, error 
to guidance, if one is voracious 
and has the taste to tell.
