He Knows

You know things, she says

He closes his eyes

I want to know these things, because

I know you know things, she says

He opens his eyes

You're mistaken, he says

But I can tell you know, she says

Then you must know more than I, he says

You can't deny these things, she says

You seem to think I possess something

that I can give to you, but I don't, he says

Then you won't share the things

you know, she says

It's not a question of sharing, he says

You hold me in so little value then, she says

You don't understand me, he says

All I know is that you have had

the experiences, she says

It is true I have experienced many things

throughout my life, he says

You admit then, she says

But I've known so little

of what I've experienced, he says

You know things, she says

He closes his eyes.
