"sounding bored"

Why can't it be explained, what everyone
knows is true, or so they say they do -
And act as though they don't, when all is done.
At least I can explain it all to you.

You wisely nod, and grin your innocence,
protesting I make nothing but good sense.
And endlessly you're charmed, and must agree:
the world could learn a thing or two from you
and me.

And bored,
we spin our stories for awhile,
through worlds where people truly know these things.
Til' back again, concede with sheepish smile -

It's much more fun to sit here,
just about the only two
left wondering.
