What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

The capacity
for knowledge
is
overwhelming.
We take in
what comes at us,
and we remember
what we need
or what we can.
A collection of recollections,
a mass of mystery unraveled,
knowing
what we must confess,
or
words of which
we should care less.
For all we are, and all
we do,
I know more now
and so do you.
Where we learn,
or how
we grow,
shouldn’t we be humbled
by what we know?
