Whether it vibrates or makes any sound?
The number of thingies that circle around?
Whether it travels in clusters or waves?
The time that it takes or the time that it saves?
In the door, on the floor, in a brown paper bag,
layed out straight in a line or in a zig zag.
How far it's away, the shape that it's in?
On the tip of your tongue, on the end of a pin.
Whether it's solid or liquid or gas,
a small coin of gold or a big bag of trash?
How long it remains, the way that it moves?
What color it is, whatever it proves?
So come all yee faithfull and kick it around.
Let's argue the meaning, obscure and confound.
Let's call it a name that the others won't know.
Let's burry it deep and then hope it can grow.
Let's gather it up and call it our own...
Let's get it together or leave it alone!
