Knowing Poem by Steven Federle

Knowing



Knowing
would be like
dying
over and
over.

Seeing how it all will happen
before it happens
would be the final blight,
a leaden pall falling
on your joyful life.

So much better to live
in ignorance,
in hope that tomorrow
will be better
or at least the same
as today.
