goat knowledge

Sometimes people think they know things

but sometimes they know other things

and not the original thing they thought they knew

but how were they supposed to know?

and for this grace exists

because you're not sure what they know

and they can't quite tell you

so it does no good to get upset

when someone isn't sure about what they

think they can know

and for this grace should last a long time

more than just a few times

but for years

and years

and years

and a lifetime

not to be handed out frivolously

but thoughtfully

and wholeheartedly

yep yep

that's what the goat says

the goat that always stands

on top of that pile of trash

next to the stop light

right on the other side of the 11th street bridge
