A little knowledge is not really a dangerous thing
Looking under ground, greater knowledge can bring.
The aquifer that stretches out below our feet
Has much information to offer when we meet.
Though literally invisible, the aquifer has some ways
To show how its structure and behavior conveys
The main characteristics that help us to understand
The translations and inferences that go hand-in-hand.
The poem, “Listen To The Aquifer,” offers a position
From which more knowledge builds in tradition
A network of ideas that must be cautious in scope
So that our good reasoning better helps us to cope.
Seeing under ground is an exercise in virtual reality
The aquifer greets us with intellectual cordiality
The public can be on a fast-track learning mode
If not faced with a complex scientific code.
