Tell me something I don't know

Speak truth to me

Like I've never heard

Preach words that never

Crossed my mind, nor entered in

My hungry eyes

Lay knowledge bare like I've never read

Like papers unseen in the archive.

Tell me something I don't know,

Spew delicate verses like the rain's

Gentle song

Write eloquent eulogies

Of honesty to slay all lies

To saturate my smooth mind.

Tell me something I don't know,

Plant seeds that my barren brain

May grow substantial wrinkles.

I'll tell you something you don't know:

Your knowledge is futile.
