I don’t know

I wonder what you know, what you do know

for your answer to everything that I ask

is always, “I don’t know. You decide.”

When I ask what you’d like for dinner

you say, “I don’t know. anything.”

Now this anything does not grow on trees

so it’s neither a vegetable nor a fruit!

This anything is therefore not food.

So, how do I cook you this anything?

When I ask what movie you’d like to watch

You say, “I don’t know. You decide.”

So, if I am to decide on the choice then

why do I need to ask you in the first place?

When I ask what you’d like to do over the weekend

you say, “I Don’t know. something.”

Now this something could be anything but

to me it is nothing if it is not defined

by language that you need to communicate .

Ugh! How frustrating it is to be me.

How frustrating it is to be me with you!

Sometimes I wish that when you ask me,

“What’s for dinner?”, I could just quip, “I don’t know!”
