Ignorance

When you learn a new word, 
suddenly it's everywhere.

You see it appearing on signs

around your all too familiar town...
You hear it echoing from a stranger's
mouth in another room...
You suddenly notice it blatantly staring
back at you from the pages in a book
you've read five times before...

But it's not coincidental.

It's simply the ignorance
to what you've always overlooked
beginning to fade away.
