thumbing through the old testament

we expect
the doctor to know it all.
from head to toe.
inside and out.
and yet,
sometimes he doesn't.
he's got
neuropathy down,
but not
psoriasis.
same goes
for the lawyer.
she has to look stuff up.
sure she knows
divorce
and child support,
but when it comes to
murder one
she has to google it.
even
the garage mechanic,
though an expert
on brakes,
has no clue 
with transmissions.
there's a lot faking it
going on.
but none of them tell
you that.
they learn on the job,
as we all do.
even the priest has to thumb
through the old
testament
to tell you
what to do.
