260 - There's concepts that just don't exist at all

There’s concepts that just don’t exist at all,
Like time, truth, soul, life, death and uniqueness,
And things that do exist, things that we call
By any name, such as a rose, I guess.
Each thing is indeed separate, more or less,
But each thing’s also a community:
The heart is not the brain or pancreas,
But all together make up one body.
That body, from a distance, you won’t see;
It’s now part of a crowd watching football,
Whose presence, from the moon, you would not guess.
No sign of life in this whole galaxy
That lies hidden within that drop, so small
You’d not believe it was a universe.
