I once had a thought
In ventive, this thought
In ventive as ventive
Can be.
But as I was thinking
It got me to thinking
Who’s done this same thinking
Before me?
Maybe DaVinci
Wright Brothers pair
Or Newton under
A tree.
Ten years ago, no,
More like a hundred
Why even way back
In B.C.
This thought attacked
Destroying the first; yes
Gave it a
Death-dealing blow.
The shame of it is
First thought went unshared.
Inventive?
I’ll never know.
