I Know This
[ poets be slammin ] - 12.03.01 - \\t\\t \\t\\tby: \\t\\tRachel Kann

\\n\\n

I know this,

\\n

This, I know:

\\n

all that I have, all that is me,

\\n

resides inside my poetry,

\\n

and every time

\\n

I write a rhyme

\\n

it might be the line

\\n

that sets minds free.

\\n

And also I know that I don\\u2019t know shit!

\\n

And the more I know, the more I realize it.

\\n

I know that for all the pain I\\u2019ve cried

\\n

there is the exact same balance of joy on the other side

\\n

of that coin

\\n

joined

\\n

with

\\n

the thinnest slip

\\n

of membrane

\\n

same goes for

\\n

crazy and sane

\\n

truth and lie

\\n

answer and why

\\n

because I know this:

\\n

this universe operates with a divine

\\n

tug of war teeter-totter,

\\n

bringing order and balance like the tide does to water,

\\n

like I know that each wave rolls back to the sea

\\n

retreating from me into deep green eternity,

\\n

and I know that I am free!

\\n

(...well, at least in my mind if I wanna be...)

\\n

I know that some things sound good to me in theory

\\n

but in point of fact, suck ass in actual practice,

\\n

like communism and pornography.

\\n

I know that its impossible

\\n

to really know

\\n

where anyone

\\n

is coming from

\\n

so who are we to judge \\u2018em?

\\n

I know that some

\\n

things are so dope they transcend their category

\\n

and its important to see the glory

\\n

in the ordinary.

\\n

Like, I know there\\u2019s Nag Champa,

\\n

and then there\\u2019s all other incense.

\\n

I can\\u2019t see putting Earl Grey up against any other tea,

\\n

Lash Out isn\\u2019t even on the same plane as other mascaras comparatively,

\\n

and I know there\\u2019s R&B,

\\n

and then there\\u2019s Otis Redding.

\\n

I know that most things

\\n

are much greater than the sum of their parts,

\\n

and that that\\u2019s the real definition of art.

\\n

Like, brownies are good, and so is whipped cream,

\\n

but you put \\u2018em together

\\n

and its this whole other chemical fucking thing,

\\n

like John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing harmony,

\\n

like masturbating as compared to an orgy...

\\n

I know that everything

\\n

within this

\\n

surface glimpse

\\n

of reality

\\n

is infinitely

\\n

simple and perfectly

\\n

complicated,

\\n

and I know that being jaded and over it

\\n

is way overrated

\\n

and I know that the colors of this world only seem faded

\\n

in direct relation

\\n

to the darkness with which your mind\\u2019s eye is shaded,

\\n

and you made it

\\n

that way.

\\n

And you can choose to change your vision\\u2019s prismic range. Today.

\\n

And I know you got to help a friend who\\u2019s down.

\\n

And I know that no matter where you end up,

\\n

you\\u2019re still from your hometown.

\\n

And I know you got to know how

\\n

to listen to the sound

\\n

of your own heartbeat in the dead quiet of night sometimes,

\\n

and I know that can be so frightening...

\\n

...but I also know that

\\n

the deepest darkness is always the most enlightening,

\\n

and I know that fresh cold cantaloupe

\\n

tastes like the perfect first kiss,

\\n

and I know that

\\n

Lao-Tzu, and Moses, and Mohammed, and Buddha, and Allah, and Jesus, and all those dudes

\\n

knew some deep ass shit,

\\n

But I also know that we all hold

\\n

the same eternal truths in our hearts deepest pit.

\\n

It\\u2019s because

\\n

I know that we are made of the same stuff

\\n

as the sun

\\n

and moon

\\n

and farthest star

\\n

and that all that we are

\\n

is manifest energy

\\n

and that we already have everything we could ever need

\\n

if we could just begin to see clearly,

\\n

and I know that the world will continue to spin,

\\n

and I know that one day... you will let me in

\\n

and we will begin

\\n

to love in

\\n

a fashion

\\n

I couldn\\u2019t fathom

\\n

existed

\\n

and we will laugh at the fact that we ever resisted

\\n

this blissful togetherness,

\\n

and the sex will be off the charts!

\\n

\\u2018Cause we\\u2019ll both be super freaky,

\\n

but we\\u2019ll be fucking from the heart

\\n

\\u2018cause our loving

\\n

will be a something

\\n

where the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts,

\\n

(we are artists, after all, so what would fate have as make besides art?)

\\n

And I know that outside of this space time frame,

\\n

we are one and the same

\\n

we\\u2019re a part,

\\n

not apart,

\\n

so I know I can wait patiently for it to start,

\\n

and far out,

\\n

I may seem to be,

\\n

and maybe you so me as wacky,

\\n

but baby, the fact be,

\\n

that I am a poet,

\\n

and as all true poets do,

\\n

I\\u2019m mainlining the spiraling spherical

\\n

truth of the universe

\\n

turning it out and into lyrical

\\n

wholeness.

\\n

And

\\n

I know this.

\\n

This, I know.
