a personal prayer

Lord, lord, lord. Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

(with a coda)

Lord, lord, lord. Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer. Amen.
