What can I say, it's something
WHAT IT ISN'T

What it isn't
tells me what it is.

What you tell me it is
can be proven
by what it isn't.

Perhaps it may even
be disproved.

If you tell me it is genius
I will scan for it's stupidity.

If you tell me it is black,
I will ensure there is no white.

There is nothing so complete
as something that is not.

I know, when I know I don't know something,
I know something.

What it isn't
tells me
what it is.
