Who Knows

I’m not sure who did it
Or what it was that was done
All I know is that I don’t know
I am not sure why I don’t know
As everyone else seems to know
And find my not knowing very amusing
I don’t know why they find it amusing
All I know is that I don’t know
And their knowing doesn’t help
Me with my not knowing
Yet activates the
“How can you not know?”
“everybody knows” retort
No one will tell me
Who did it
Or what it was that was done
I’m beginning to think
They don’t know either
Who knows.
