We gather in the swimming pool
The painted caves, the crop circles
The cul de sacs with petal blankets
Gardens growing thyme and basil
The factories, the libraries
The cubicles, universities
We speak a language handed down
Every time a little different
Every mouth another etching
Held in place by silk vibration
Neuron networks lighting torches
Together through association
We isolate an obstacle
A broken bulb, a question mark
Put it through hypothesis
Experimental back and forth
Getting closer every moment
Never finished, never sure
We scatter to the river banks
Ride the veins to little boxes
Feed ourselves a bowl of purpose
Add a tally to the wall
Settle down, begin reflection
Think and dream about it all
