"We have learned..."
said the old man
"That it is often better not knowing what you all ready know."
He pauses to chew on the sticky bun, smacking thin lips coated in glaze before continuing ponderously
"When you do know, you know you knew, but now that you know you can't pretend that you didn't. It is better, in the end to not know. That is where the death of all good things resides; in the knowing of them. "
The old man spit in the dirt
"Truth crushes better things than memory or time. I'd ask you to remember that, but then you'd know what you don't want to know. But, I bet you all ready knew that."
The boy stared at the old man and after a very long time said
"What?"
Thunderstorms today. Sent by god to reflect my mood. Parade day kisses.
