As we know
(or like to think we do)
There are known knowns
(we all need more love)
There are things we know we know
(we’re not getting enough of it)
We also know
(like I know I love you)
There are known unknowns
(but will it last?)
That is to say
(according to me, anyway)
There are some things
(especially about love)
we do not know
(is there someone better around the corner?)
But there are also unknown unknowns
(scary but exciting – flip those sex-tech tomes)
The ones we don’t know
(and hey, who cares?)
we don’t know
(and, will we love it when it comes?)
