epistemic

there's knowing
and knowing
ya know?
i never knew
how little i knew
until i met you.
my epistemic failings
systemic, impaling
myself on the railings
of wisdom prevailing
and once shown
how little i've known
how stupid i've been
how grand my chagrin
you buggered off again
increasing my dumb dumb dumbing
and i so witless, blind and naive
i never even saw it coming
