Analysis of Higher Bred



Language builds a place to stand,
inside our own cognition

Each word confirms what thought instills,
in psychic recognition

Are you the true informant,
about what’s inside your head

1st person self awareness frees
—a nature higher bred

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
