I can't tell whether you're a bad actor or a good actor pretending to be a liar. I can't tell whether you're lying with your words or your actions. I can't tell whether you're acting or performing. I can't tell if you're a performer or an artist. I can't tell whether you're a good artist or just good looking. I can't tell if you're looking at my eyes or looking at my nose. I can't tell what anybody knows. I can't tell the difference between what I know and what I feel. I can't tell what I'm eating from how it feels even though if I were an octopus I could, and that would be nice.
