the life of a fact

what a fact has to do,

to be mind-worthy 

of occupancy and transport.

the tonal wardrobe a fact has to ware,

to get noticed as delivered

and to be taken up,

as relevant in an ongoing way.

not that a fact was ever freestanding purposed.

fact to be impactful,

has to be prepped and timed.

it has to be appropriately framed,

either by contrast 

or as somehow heightened 

in the garden of know,

yet having lots of recycled potential lingering.

if a fact is to have a meaningful life,

more than posterized,

it has to gain behavioral relevance.

become further, 

as thought provoked,

be featured in mindfulness, 

possibly venture into conversational exchange,

receive that special treatment 

of being further reviewed

and eventually placed with prominence

into front lobe existence.

if a fact is further escorted 

by details and anecdotes,

then a bonus eminence has been obtained.

if said, someone knows for a fact,

then liberal usage may be forthcoming.

somedays a fact can be dressed 

to be theoretical,

while other days, 

somewhat practical,

maybe even demonstrative.

if taken to heart,

a fact could become a belief,

or even a reason for living. 

however malleable,

could then become a possible philosophy.

some facts do achieve a high status,

rarely, but they do.

why some facts even outlive their usefulness,

yet still have imaginary lives,

that are rich and fulfilling.

maybe as attributes

or apparent as character traits,

that actually started out as a fact,

that got assigned, 

as a personal endowment.

hey, it could happen,

and does.

the fact world is ever changing

in its appearances, its meaningfulness,

and in its length of relevancy of existence. 

some survive, 

as slightly displaced, 

as historical.

some committed to memory, 

as personal or turning points, noteworthy.

some were just fashionable,

as having their time in the sun.

some went on to great careers,

having generated a huge amount of details,

almost as celebrities of knownness.

one can never be sure,

what fact passes from mouth to mind,

that will become the fulcrum

of a human's further existence . . .
