Height was born
To distinguish between low and low -
Height was sent to differentiate
The mountains
The seas
The plains
All owed it
To Height.
Height was Tall,
Height was Short,
Height touched Everything
But belonged to Nothing.
Height
Came from the spirit world
And lodged in
Mass -
Height was a tool,
Converter,
Changer,
Creator:
Fridge,
Bird-flight,
Shoe,
Smoke,
Flame
Smile -
Height
Created,
Formed,
Bent,
Twisted,
Allowed all that was Mass
To dance its dance
And BECOME -
Height was cool.
An odd little poem about the concept of height. Without height we’d all be two-dimensional.
