I am a simple bystander.
Upon my slightly rough surface rests libations
Libations sometimes full of color
and others devoid of any light
Along for the ride one minute he or she is calm or quiet
Quiet, and the next moody
Moody or wildly mad with passion
Passion for words sometimes strung in nonsensical or hardly decipherable sentences
Sentences forming the harmonious song of social interaction
In this I delight.
On my course surface games are made,
Challenges are placed,
Games and challenges are played, and it all ends with uproarious laughter.
On my grainy surface words are sometimes written
Written along with shapes and symbols
Symbols which for reasons unknown increase my value ten fold
In the morning I am desired and required
Desired and required I am sought
In the morning I am loved.
I am a simple bystander,
In this I delight.

I am a simple bystander.
Upon my slightly rough surface rests libations
Libations sometimes full of color
and others devoid of any light
Along for the ride one minute he or she is calm or quiet
Quiet, and the next moody
Moody or wildly mad with passion
Passion for words sometimes strung in nonsensical or hardly decipherable sentences
Sentences forming the harmonious song of social interaction
In this I delight.
On my course surface games are made,
Challenges are placed,
Games and challenges are played, and it all ends with uproarious laughter.
On my grainy surface words are sometimes written
Written along with shapes and symbols
Symbols which for reasons unknown increase my value ten fold
In the morning I am desired and required
Desired and required I am sought
In the morning I am loved.
I am a simple bystander,
In this I delight.
