Do you "grok" the lyrics to Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence"?

If so, please elaborate why you do. Thank yew kindly.

Do you "grok" the lyrics to Simon %26amp; Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence"?
I have grokked them so thoroughly that I feel a spiritual empathy and oneness even with the tiny moth buzzing around that halo-encrusted street lamp, watching Paul Simon turn his collar to the cold and damp.



Suddenly, his eyes are stabbed by the flash of a neon light. Blinded, he stumbles across the narrow street of cobblestone, swearing loudly (and invoking Art's mother in the process), and collides with the lamp post, causing the lamp to slam into me, thus injuring my wing.



Ouch.



I will wait till he collects the royalties from the "Graceland" album in about 20 years' time, then sue his *** off.
Reply:Stranger and stranger Michael said ! Yes I do drink to the sounds of silence as well as Scarborough Fair .

Reply:I've tried. Is there such a thing as "mostly grok"? If so, that's where I am.
Reply:HUH....Do I WHAT ????????
Reply:I'm sorry, the only thing I grok is Spock.
Reply:Grok is from Robert Heinlein's science fiction classic, "Stranger in a Strange Land." It is a great word whether is in the dictionary or not. Grok safely.
Reply:I can't believe I'm reading people using the word "grok". I haven't heard that word used in years *sigh*
Reply:been so long since i grokked. i hope it is like riding a bike.
Reply:Hmmm. Heinlein?
Reply:I used to grok when I was much younger, but it was usually to "Joy to the World". Grok sounds like croak and Jeremiah was a bullfrog, you know.
Reply:no, i repect them and stay silent.
Reply:When I first grokked that song I saw James Dean walking down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
