Can there be knowledge without investigation?
Can a thing be known at first on sight,
on taste or touch or feel, can you
smell a thing or, oddly, know it
only as an action at a spooky distance
Is it likely a thing has ever
been discovered and declared,
post-haste, 'this, then, is that'
With imagination, a consideration
of a thing is built upon the sense
of research best conducted, an exploration
of the nature before the naming
Postscript:

How much did the heavy rains help California's water crisis? @nasa NASA's GRACE-FO satellite has the answer.
The greatest net gain of water in nearly 22 years. Think of the state’s Central Valley region as a giant swimming pool: GRACE-FO measures all the water contained in the lakes, rivers, soil, snowpack, and underground aquifers. Winter storms raised levels about 20 inches.
