Description
This piece is supposed to represent the mechanisms of knowledge, and how it is important to be intelligent on a scholarly basis. The panels are supposed to be how knowledge effects me or how I understand knowledge, how I obtain it, how I use it, and why it is attractive to me. For instance, the people sitting at the able on the bottom right having a conversation is one of the ways I would use my knowledge.

I Think I Know

I love learning
To me
Knowing is
Conversation over hot cups of coffee
And inquiring eyes
Finally grasping that afterthought on tips of tongues
Just out of reach
Hands gesticulating sign language synonyms
It was nice to meet you
And maybe we could do this again sometime.

The Complete Persepolis teaches me
That being alone is the long and the hard
Before every change
That voice is important if one can learn to use it
That I should not feel slighted by every
Bad thing ever said about me
One should always have a taste for knowledge
If it brings them closer to others
Think longer, not quicker

Let the mind be open always
Be active, and taste taste taste
Hunger
The aftershock of two tectonic plates
Grinding against the edge of my skull
Asking me why I’m not in the loop
I insert myself into every conversation I can
Like plug into socket
Trying to electrify something alive

There will never be enough people at a get together
Every moment should be a party
Because the next is unexpected
Hating things isn’t good for the mind
I have learned that
I will only know my bravery
When they shoot into the crowd
If my conscious hits the floor
Dead or alive.
Shouting loudly behind the backs of those who matter
Never got me anything but an inflated ego

The way to follow the dao
Is to realize
That ego is a perception of the mind
Still I find someplace to store it on body
The last thing I can stand to hold
Besides my
My ideas and opinions, my plans for the future,
What I did with my phone, and who’s going to talk to me next
When I will have my next snack and my intellectual insatiability
All that these things have in common is
Conversation over cups of cold cream desserts
I love learning too much
I think I am always right I
My first answer to every question, every call of my name, every wayward look
Is I know
I know what you want and I know what you need
I know what I’ve got to do, and I know what you’re feeling
And I might know how to help
But virtue makes silence in the face of ignorance
To keep one from making a fool of themselves
So I know I’m not completely virtuous.

As Socrates said
The only thing I know
Is that I know nothing at all
That nothing is ever true if I can be shaken
All I know
Is that I’ve got to get my feelings across
That bridging gaps is as easy as an apology
That I’ve got to stand where I my heart needs me
Because
Once the earth quakes and the sand breaks
And they are questioning every decision I’ve ever made
I won’t have a moment to mend an open wound
I can’t change my mind
But couldn’t make it up either
All I know is the world could swallow my knowledge whole at any time

All I know
Is that virtue
Is to want to know, but knowing that you never will
That accepting is human
And that there are others who do the same
That wanting to be near them is completes the circle of virtue.
My tendency to want what’s right comes from
Years of being wrong
Trying to stop
Heart beats is a hard night of white noise

All I know
Is that if I trust my soul
Others will do the same
I should just ride along
And nothing will be left undone.
