Ponderings
Let’s consider
 The color purple.
 What comes to mind?
 Eggplants.
 E-g-g-p-l-a-n-t-s.
 Indeed.
 If an eggplant could make a sound,
 Would it?
 Just like
 If A tree falls in a forest
 And there is no one around to hear it
 Does it make noise?
 Oh, that’s easy, you might say
 Of course it does
 But really… the question is,
 Does it?
 Because if nobody heard it
 Then there was no sound.
 Right?
 Wrong?
 Ponder this for a moment.
 What exactly are we?
 Maybe we aren’t what we think.
 Could we be just a fragment?
 A piece of someone else’s dreams?
 Or maybe
 We are eggplants.
 E-g-g-p-l-a-n-t-s.
 And that would make us all
 Purple.
