One Day

One day in the middle of my life
I realized that I knew nothing
about living with a woman,
having friends, making money,
owning a house, and caring for carpets,
plants, animals, and cars.

What a relief to recognize
all my vague fears as precise
ignorances!

What a joy to be rewarded
for 37 years of knowing it all
with the chance to learn something.
