he don't know

he don’t know

really, he don’t know nothin’ yet
he runs an’ plays an’ fishes
with the kids thru the woods
an’ at the brook
an’ down to Main Street

he still don’t know nothin’ yet
struggles with Math, mostly
an’ with the other stuff
them big people and
them teachers try to learn him

now maybe he knows a little
imagining all he saw and did
-and figures some of it out,
or maybe, as they say in “Our Town”
he will never understand
