The sparks there are
Sizzling and somersaulting
Points, springboard and departure
The sibilance around us
The wealth that wells up within
It is not only a matter of style
The fireworks that dazzle
There are too many
Pleasing but fleeting
Don’t even bother
That is to say, it is not physical
Metaphysical, it may be
And the sparks showing off
That come to the fore
Point and find their boarding
They may be too many to count
But what is life
If it can be counted?
