He knows how to have an idea.
Indeed, that part’s quite easy
Because the way the brain works,
Ideas normally just pop into the mind.
So he’s got that part down.
So far, however, he has little idea
Of these three things:
1) That all ideas should be tested—
2) How to test them—and
3) Just how big a backlog of untested ideas
he’s built his life around so far.
In other words, he’s still operating
At novice level, and has no idea
Just how good a person can get at this—
Which probably explains
Why he’s still somewhat proud
Of his idea work, and has
No plan for improving at it.
