Book of Definitions

If you donot know,
You did not hear.
You did not stop 
To look and listen
To understand expressions.
Realize you donot have
To interpret a book of definitions.
Just read it and say,
"Oh, that's what that means."
Because if you still donot know,
You have not heard yet.
You have not stopped
To look or listen 
To understand expressions.
Realize you donot have
To interpret a book of definitions;
Just read it and say,
"I will learn another's language."
