what is for sure

what is for sure

many words and
notes written to tell
what is for sure.
I've read them,
from Dick, Jane and Spot
to Descartes and Kant;
from Howdy Doody,
to Hamlet and Antigone.
from The More We Get Together
to Mozart and Shankar.
Still, the more I learn
the less I know.

the dandileon flower,
the water worn beach pebble,
the bright morning star
and the wisp of smoke
from burning leaves,
tell me best
what is for sure.
