By Code Or By Number... Poem by DM W

By Code Or By Number...



By code or by number
We try to classify the unknown.
We often drain the blood
From the essential notion.
The colours of the butterfly
Enlighten the crudest consciousness.
Yet the dissection of insect life
Tells us nothing about rare beauty.

By Code Or By Number...
