There is something I don&#039;t know<br /> That I am supposed to know.<br /> I don&#039;t know what it is I don&#039;t know,<br /> And yet am supposed to know,<br /> And I feel I look stupid<br /> If I seem both not to know<br /> And not to know what it is I don&#039;t know.<br /> <br /> Therefore, I pretend I know it.<br /> This is nerve-wracking<br /> Since I don&#039;t know what I must pretend<br /> To know.<br /> <br /> Therefore, I pretend to know everything.<br /> <br /> I feel you know what I am supposed to know<br /> But you can&#039;t tell me what it is<br /> Because you don&#039;t know what I don&#039;t know<br /> What it is.<br /> <br /> You may know what I don&#039;t know, but not<br /> That I don&#039;t know it.<br /> And I can&#039;t tell you. So you will have<br /> To tell me everything.<br /> <br /> - R. D. Lang in Knots
