What's the half-life of a bright idea?
How deep must it be buried
to prevent it radiating,
like trying to stop a bulb's
insistent light from spilling out
between the fingers or leavening
the enforced blindness
of closed eyelids?
Imagine rolling that hot bulb
on your tongue,
all it's brilliant shining.
Now, try closing your mouth.
