An uncountable number of observations

To read every package on a supermarket shelf

Or write a dialogue of the architecture in every city

Or in every place you ever walked or talked


Bombarded with information

Adrift with all the books you ever read

Endlessly more which you have not yet discovered


All of this for you to capture

To cook alongside your banana cake

And then; to you and yours to decimate


To collate and re-deliver onwards

You know, to the count

Of infinity plus one


Distil into that perfect song

Or even the seven syllable line

Somewhere in the middle


Eluding to that elusive presence

Which you handed to me on a plate

Along with your symbolic representation


For now I'll just say that it is nice

To have met you, and to have let you know

That already you have made a difference
