Extrapolation

I don’t know what I feel

This thing elusive… and so much more

What to make out of it,

Wish I did… but I do not know.

I am a beholder

But listen instead,

Sounds like English, but… was it French

What to make out of any words said

Wish I did… but I do not know.

They say eyes talk

But I couldn’t hear

And I strained my ears to listen,

Was nothing said, or am I deaf

Wish I did… but I do not know.

A message sent, not received

Or, was it the other way round

Either way, the blank’s is my foe,

Wish I did… but I do not know.

Thus I sleep… and hope 

In my dreams, to come up with an answer

That’ll clear the fog, once and for all

To know and wish no more…
