How Do You Know

5/21/16 " How you know What's in the grass if you never mow How you know If you don't Stay on your toes And have nothing to show Now and long ago How you know There couldn't be an undertow Whichever way the waters flow How you know We're not alone Or if this was originally our home How you know The digits to my phone How you know If the wind'll always blow So that you can go Fast and not slow On the way back home How you know What lies below And above each plateau How you know Who was the first to throw A stone How you know You cover won't be blown By an unnaccounted for dog chewing on a bone How you know Which areas have not been combed Or used so that things could be grown How you know There isn't black ice on the road After a heavy duty snow How you know What happened on this globe And understand every piece of art or code How do you know What's written in each and every tome As well as any ode How you know It won't domino Like it has ever since long ago How do you know The truth always, you don't How do you know If they won't get another chance to say goodbye or hello How do you know What's been all ready seen by each and every drone And what has and hasn't all ready been cloned How do you know If another will end up breaking the oath How do you know The weather could have such an effect on growth How do you know Both Sides of the slope And the limit of each and every scope By: Dalton Ogletree
