I don’t understand what the man is saying to me
Taking passionately about subjects I’ve never known
Using terminology I can’t picture in my mind
Everything he said was foreign to me
But I knew every word
I understood the grammar
The start and end of phrases
Every consonant and vowel sound
But here I am
Watching peacefully as he speaks
The words that don’t make sense
I love the way he speaks about something
That means nothing to me
Even though I have never learned what he speaks of
I will listen to him over and over again
And stare in awe and wonder
I’ll decipher every word
While he gets lost in the details
As he explains the where, when, what, and why
I don’t understand what the man is saying
But it means everything to me
