I can read between lines,
I can read between lies.
Beneath all reasons
Upon which I rely
All my understanding of the world,
Of life, of love, of why people die
Or live in a certain way…
How foolish am I!
What kind of fool am I?
Who am I to know
All sorts of things?
No-one. That is why
I know nothing,
Or should know nothing,
Or pretend to know nothing,
I don’t know,
Actually I don’t know much.
I couldn’t, anyway.
It’s not up to me,
Deciding how much I know.
The world is just too big.
Nobody knows much about,
Nobody should,
Nobody wants to,
Nobody deserves to,
Nobody can, or cares.
I was lying, see?
I admit it.
I ignore all things.
I’m just… here.
Rodin, "O pensador", 1880
