A Round Here
© 2007 Matt Henry
There is no there, there.
Her is ubiquitously everywhere,
Everywhere I go,
Well, here I am.
And another little thing that I've found
Is that most things are created round
With spirals, twists and spins,
There's not much that's straight.
At least where I'm from
Same place you're from:
I'm from a round here
You're from a round here
We're from a round here
This round here.
The galaxies dance and spin
And the planets, like this one here,
all tend to spin
My daughters, they dance and spin
And it makes my head pin.
It's all happening here
But I'm not dizzy, and I don't fear, cos
I'm from a round here
You're from a round here
We're from a round here
This round here.
The cells in my body abound
And they're not all circular
But mostly they are kind of round
The cells in a prison are sqaure
And if there's anywhere here
That's not really here, it's there.
Imagine an omnicentric sphere
A solid circle whose center
is everwhere here
And the circumference is no where
Well, that's where we're from.
The whole cosmos is here and round,
so if you're from here
you're held by love and gravity-bound
Since we're together here,
Well maybe we should spin.
And not rule people out
or box people in
I'm from a round here
You're from a round here
We're from a round here
This round here.
