Why do you never
Take words at our word?
We’re ridiculous,
At least one of us,
Just ridiculous.
The snow stands for snow.
Lies lie for no one.
Up! Pay attention.
If a scientist
Or a musician
Writes, dimensionless,
Immediately
Imagination
Thinks of dimensions,
Which ones are missing?
A philosopher
Writes, dimensionless,
You just roll your eyes.
The word’s meaningless.
Well, of course it is.
Meaning is your thing,
Not ours, except when
It’s just a word thing,
Meaningless meaning,
Like dimensionless.
Outside, it’s snowing.
