We’re visual, devoting near a third
of mental processing to what we see,
but I submit descriptors are absurd
that disregard our kind’s affinity
for narrative. We love our stories so,
we use them for religion, to explain
observed phenomena, to help us grow
a memory we’d have our head retain.

The best instruction’s given in a tale;
we understand, regardless of our state.
Attending nearly none of us will fail
to guess what narrative would motivate
the characters. As story lights our eyes,
so telling is a means to empathize.
