I don't know

By Keith Beasley

Laying in bed in still dark room
As another day begins to begin
But what does THIS day bring with it?
What do I have in store
For this new day?
From this new day?

Well . . .

I don't know . . . whether it will be cold or hot
I don't know . . . if it will rain or not

I don't know . . . if the sun will shine
I don't know . . . if the luck will be mine

I don't know . . . which creatures we'll see
I don't know . . . if chameleon or bee

I don't know . . . if we'll have electricity
I don't know . . . if we'll be connected to PT

I don't know . . . what new tasks will be needed
I don't know . . . what new plants will have seeded

I don't know . . . which, if any, plans will come true
I don't know . . . if a big storm will brew

I do not know
I cannot know . . . any of these things

But I DO know
That I don't know!
And I DO know
That I don't NEED to know!
