Stones

It's a stone, I say.

But look at the colour,
It's shape
How smooth
And the scent of salt.

But it's a stone
I say.

Yes, but what does it say?
It has a history -

But it's a fucking stone.
I find I'm repeating myself.

You're missing the point.
Hundreds, if not thousands
Of years have shaped this rock.
It has history.
It says so much

It says nothing. It looks like
All the other 'king stones
That lie strewn across the beach.
Why must you think it says
anything?

Why can't it just lie there minding
It's own fucking business
simply being -
being a stone.

Ha.....

Why are we together?
