Postage Stamp Every little single piece of every single little thing Means nothing in comparison to this giant ball of string A bee sting on a mountain and a neuron in a head One plus none is nothing when seven eight nine instead A pebble in an ocean and a planet in the space That hovers over head with tears dripping down its face Laughter in a bottle and teardrops on the ground Mouths gobble greed while ears spit out the sound One crack joins another in a map of fractured bones That clatter in a pattern that sits on smiling stones A flame inside a passion and an eyelash in the breeze Try and lick your elbow while triplets trample threes Onwards over backwards while frontwards sits and sulks Fingers trace the bygones while mind buys it in the bulk Caution thrown with salt and forethought thinks again Wind in mouth, eyes are wide and conscience can’t complain Every little single piece of every single little thing Means nothing in comparison to this giant ball of string And reason flees the scene in a crippling of cramp And I’m quite happy all alone on my little postage stamp. |

My eyes grew wide as I read this. (Difficult to do since I'm Asian.) In fact, I'm going to go back and read it again... Still love it!!! Library dude. There is power in the pen. |
