Paper Plus Perceptions Poem by Terence George Craddock

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
