Take Note:

Forgery of St. John in the Archimedes Palimpsest, fol. 57r

Proceed with caution.

If a thought can be harnessed

to pride or profit

you may look but not touch.

The owner of that thought

to whose mind his muse

whispered unique secrets

knows the value of that product

and hastens to lock it away

securely in a severely restricted

category called patent/trademark

You may peruse the product 

view it, read it, digest it

but as intellectual property

you may not AS IN DO NOT!

appropriate any segment

sentence, word or portion of

its brilliance lest you be sued.

Of course that preceded the wonders

and freedoms of the cybernet

disarming the quaintness of

authentic original thought.
