Analysis of Epiphany's Light
If only genius could be contagious,
like chicken pox or flu
If only brilliance could be transferred,
like a bank draft overdue
If only insight could be replayed,
like a Mozart symphony
Then epiphany’s light would shine on all
—in communal rhapsody
(Ashbridge Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
