The
man asked a question
a question
he knew, so it
was
not to hear an answer
or
to learn or gain advantage
or
even understand. He asked
me
the question he knew
the
answer to so that
I
could know
and
he could say
he
was not Socrates
My
heart is sewn, he said
with black thread
my
heart is held, he said
with black thread
so
that it cannot beat
unless
held together
with black thread
The
thread binds
the
thread holds
my
heart
is
bound
with black thread
and
all I can do, he said
is
ask questions
I
know the answers to:
I
am not Socrates.
