While floating in the soft nothingness of a crystal,
I was listening idly to the lesson dictated
by an eloquent and myopic professor of universal harmony.
Supposedly I was learning the way to drink silence
from the empty, bottomless cup of knowledge
that was be known in order to sense the savoury taste of words.
We both were excited,
though neither the professor nor I cared about the subject--
no wonder--
as we never existed.
