The genius

It's not that I don't know, there's just too many answers

“What do you know?”

He asked me

I stared blankly at him

Saying nothing

And as if reading my mind

He said ‘Okay’

And then turned away 

Author's Note

After being honest of saying ‘No’ in all of his questions, my boss asked me this.

It would matter not if or even what you might answer, even with the gift of hindsight, for I fear your "Boss" would still assume you know nothing. Very succinctly written.

[SimpleMind]

I guess it's better that people will think I know nothing...hahaha I actually know little in the first place :)

Thanks for the read madame :)

[Basu Gupta]

heheheh...i'm sorry if this seemed irritating to you..great write with that straigh-forward attitude tightening it's grip..

[SimpleMind]

there's nothing to be sorry about my friend :)

[Invisible]

better than some of my responses to questions from bosses, i'll tell you that XD

[SimpleMind]

XD so much for being talkative.. Thanks for reading my friend :)

[Invisible]

me i'm both talkative and silent depending on my mood, where i am, all sorts of reasons, might be part of my ADHD, or maybe i'm just weird lol.
no problem, haven't been reading people much lately so i figured i'd start looking at other people's writing again.

[SimpleMind]

it must be fun having you around.. I mean, all you need is a little push and then you'll go talking until who knows when! Weird... XD

[Invisible]

possibly... i wouldn't know cause sometimes i go on and on, and know one knows what the hell i'm even talking about, especially if i'm on dayquil/nyquil, others i'm cool as a cat (is that an expression?) or that is to say quiet and introspective. what were we talking about again?

[SimpleMind]

We're talking about potatoes :)

Haha that's cool! I also talk a lot, that even I doesn't know what I'm talking about..that's why I rather be a listener than a talker :)

[Invisible]

and i'd rather be young again, or a super hero (more likely though i'd be neither hero or villain cause i can never make up my mind), or a video game writer, or a religious leader; among other career choices i've had in the past i'm no longer capable of achieving. my point is, sometimes the hardest person to know is yourself, and potatoes are indeed delicious.

:) I like this one. Simple, and straight forward. Brings a smile to my face.

[SimpleMind]

The shortest poem I made so far :)
Thanks for the kind words !!

[Mike Emil]

no good people with not a damn thing to say but say it anyway

[SimpleMind]

Hahaha XD
Thanks ! :)

How your question can make the mind spin... It does make one wonder when there is silence.. you never know! Silence can speak so very loudly at times.. yes.. oh yes.

[SimpleMind]

Yes, you're right. It's a great defense :)
Thanks for the read :)

[quinfinn]

sometimes silence speaks far louder than any words. this clever write exemplifies and amplifies that truth. nicely done!

[SimpleMind]

Thank you so much for the words... yes, I just hope my silence really worked haha

[s y e]

Ha, this made me laugh.

So much happens in such few lines. Well done!

[SimpleMind]

Ohw~ thanks a lot!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A unique little piece with so much happening in few lines. It makes the reader think and provokes all manner of emotions.

[SimpleMind]

I'm glad it did :)
Thanks

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Sometimes I did this stuff also, when times I don't want to move when my laziness comes, I just simply say the words "Nothing," so people will not bother me anymore. Its relative :) like it!

[SimpleMind]

Haha thanks! Yes, the awkward feeling of being asked. XD
