Why does the first line have a question mark after it?

Would you say you've learned all the things there are to learn in life now? The reason I'm asking is because fifteen minutes before you wrote this poem, you could have written a poem saying

Some things I've learned:
2 + 2 = 4,
Translation always works,
The sky's always blue
etc,

and been just as wrong.

In fact, I imagine you writing this exact same poem every fifteen minutes for the rest of your life and always being exactly the same amount wrong. Wouldn't that be something? What do you think about that?
