A stranger is someone / who sits
very still at the kitchen table,
looks down at his knuckles, / thinks some day we will laugh about this, / doesn’t believe it.

“What is there in thee, Man, that can be known?
Dark fluxion, all unfixable by thought,
A phantom dim of past and future wrought,
Vain sister of the worm —”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge | Self-Knowledge
