Socratic Dictum

The Socratic Dictum

 

(Or The Unknowable Parts)

 

-

 

When I would look

To know myself,

 

There is

The part

 

I see

 

And what is stark

Or obvious,

 

I designate as

 

Me

 

It is a "me"

Most like a book

That I can understand

 

Or like a movie in my head

That runs without command

 

But I have other parts so deep

That only God can see,

 

And they are parts

Unknowable,

 

For they are yet to be.
