I know that in your heart
there is an answer to a question
Which I’m not as yet aware
that I have asked
“Woman, what’s your name?”
“I don’t know.”
“How old are you? Where are you from?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why did you dig that burrow?”
“I don’t know.”
“How long have you been hiding?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why did you bite my finger?”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t you know that we won’t hurt you?”
“I don’t know.”
“Whose side are you on?”
“I don’t know.”
“This is war, you’ve got to choose.”
“I don’t know.”
“Does your village still exist?”
“I don’t know.”
“Are those your children?”
“Yes.”

Alas, we are all caught in the same mill. We are vain and we are dishonest because it is necessary to triumph over other vain and dishonest persons. — “Address Unknown”, Kressmann Taylor, 1938
