Oh, the things I don’t know!
The acreage of my ignorance!
The common knowledge
miscommunicated to me
The hollows, the gaps, the blanks
I knew but I forgot
I think I know but I’m wrong

The distance between myself and wisdom
Is vast, but not a void
For the space is filled with you, and Wikipedia
Towering minds in their fields, dictionaries.
We cover the field between us
Neural networks leaping from brain to brain
As far as human knowledge extends

I don’t know the language.  I cannot do the math.
I don’t get the reference.  I don’t have all the facts.
Blessed stupidity that humbles the self and exalts the species
Praise incomprehension that teaches me to love my limits
By faith I know I never knew and I’ll never know now
But where I reach my end, some other knowing begins
