the hair on its own <br />is a line of dead cells <br />but when it's on the head <br />it's part of a living spirit <br /> <br />the sand on its own is a <br />startling patch of the reality <br />of the non living <br /> <br />but put in the water, put in air <br />light and seeds and it <br />becomes a part of the living world <br /> <br />take away any of these the living entity <br />dwindles into a dead plane<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-soil-and-stone-too-are-living-things/
