consider motif
paper a single sheet
of paper piles
of paper realms
of paper apply marks
symbols letters
musical notes
equations apply creative
genius philosophers
great play rights
William Shakespeare
great scientists Einstein
read works drawings
conceive truth of meanings
to minds capable of reading conceptions
meanings the paper expands
into dimensions galaxies
layers of truth a literature read
in preagreed upon meanings
paper becomes more than paper
vast volumes of potential perceptions
but for the moth
it is not music math
literature science
it is not paper
it is food
moth eaten food
but not food for thought
paper has but fibre reality
for the hungry moth
