Height was born
To distinguish between low and low.
Height was sent to
Differentiate –
The mountains,
The seas,
All owed it
To height.
Height was tall:
Height was short;
Height knew no-one but touched
Everyone.
Height
Came from the spirit world
And lodged within
Mass,
Height was a tool,
Converter,
Changer,
Creator
Of all –
Fridge door,
Bird-flight,
Carpet lifting,
Wood burning,
Arms waving,
Height created,
Formed,
Bent,
Twisted,
Allowed
All that was mass
To dance its dance.
Height was cool.
An odd little poem about the concept of height. Without height we’d all be two-dimensional.
