A Little About A Lot

by Nabih Saliba

To know a lot about a little

Or a little about a lot

Is a thing we should consider

But in practice often not

Know a lot about a little

And it’s one thing that you’ve got

But your view might be quite narrow

Like a cage for every thought

Fill your head with many subjects

Then an expert you are not

As your knowledge can be shallow

When a little about a lot

Should you aim to be an expert?

Try to master just one thing?

Then you’d have yourself a focused

Special kind of offering.

Do you wish to only sample?

Try to gather wide but thin?

Then when details are required

You’ll just offer up a grin.

Maybe what one should consider

Isn’t what they know or not

But what they know together

With the friends that they have got

For together we are smarter

Sharing fact and view and thought

On a lot about a little

Or a little about a lot

We saw each other quite regularly after that until I met my wife a few years later. During the first year of my marriage, I couldn't maintain the affair but would often wonder if I'd ever see her again. It wasn’t until the second year with my wife that I started to rekindle the affair and found that things would go better at home after each encounter. When my son was born, of course, there were a few months when I didn’t make the effort to keep up the affair and lost touch with her entirely. These were dark days of stress and unhappiness. Eventually, I started sneaking her into the house and became less frantic. Looking back, it's a wonder I
