when i get to 2oo

when i get to 200

they'll not ask for explanations

they'll think you already know

they'll just want to hear it recited

those things

they'll already

know

and then

they'll explain

the explanation

and reciting their knowledge

knowing already

those things that'll never be 

 or asked

wanting only to hear

those they'll not want to ask

for explanations

they'll just want heard

those explanations 

they'll already little 

know

when i get to 200

and the lack of asking 

becomes reciting

in that lack

and not seeking

then to explain 

the asking

when i get to 200

explanations already known

reciting for the asking

hearing that want

they'll not ask

and then

that surprise
