Very interesting construction--as if it were from outside in while reclaiming knowledge, not as something cumlative, but by noting the obvious, that knowing is an experience of our participation in what we are already knowing about. Liked how you chose and arranged you data implying that we can only speak of knowleged, only if we have some (so you can't accumulate what you already don't have).

To cut to it: Knowlege is its own insight, and not to begin with the given, would be to enter infinite regress-- The old goal post theory: If we begin at the 1 yrd line (or just 6 inches), if we kept subdividing that distance in half, we would never reach the goal line (by definition).

Ok, now the finale: you have writen an epistomological action (knowing about knowledge). I quite agree with your approach: The only way to communicate knowlege of knowledge is thru demonstration.

Hey, my mind just ran out of space, but I'm glad we're on the same page.

Wonderful... the beauty of life does build along the way and the unknowns are okay after all. Your poem just took me there.

Your sentiments in this poem are very true. We can ever only know a part. Lovely
