b: to learn from what one has seen or found in writing or printing
It does not say ONLY by sight or touch nor ONLY letters. And “found” is unspecified as to how.

name the four chambers
of your heart:
oh, my labored
faithlessly helpless heart—
what names can it bear?
fear & loathing
Believes In Dragons
distillations
leaf of common sage
under my ribs love

unbreakable momentum
vows a burden
routinely cherished,
too heavy to set down.

If some government service doesn't make money, the notion goes, then it shouldn't exist. It should be shut down or given to somebody else who can make money with it. "Why should that person get more money from us for something we've already paid for?" is a question that remains unexplored,
