There Are Things That Can't Be Said,

I Want To Be Bored. But I Can't. But I Really Don't Want To Be This Thing That I'm Having To Be Instead Of Being Bored.

We All Know Our Dates Of Birth But . . . Every Year There Is Another Date That We Pass Over Without Knowing What It Is But It Is Just As Important It Is The Other Date The Death Date.

It Is Important To Know The Stories And Histories Of Things, Even If All We Know Is That We Don't Know.
