A rock
Is a rock
Is an idea.
Hold on just a minute!
You say,
A rock is a real tangible thing.
But right now,
I say,
You do not hold a rock in your hand,
You hold it in your mind,
The idea of a rock, that is.
And even when you hold it in your hand,
I say,
It’s the idea of a rock that gives it a name,
That suggests a use.
Yes,
You say,
Such as hurling it at me
So I will stop talking
And go away.
