grok

known but not
as when things fail and you tell yourself
that sometimes things just fail
and it's not not not your fault
and you know it's true but do not grok
you hear the words as idle talk
and take them but not take them in
blame yourself as though you've sinned
sometimes time and distance required are
to teach us what we already knew
sometimes there is nothing you can do
things are through when they are through
