the howto
is a mighty force
it tells us
with authority
how to
best navigate the world
appropriate to the occasion
from love to cars to finances
it guides us
to the proper steps
and yet
it somehow fails
to say
why
if we follow the directions
we feel like children
rather than adults
why
when all wisdom
has been eagerly applied
we still don't know
why
our hands and feet
are tied
