A fireplace is hardly consistent, for its guests hardly make it on time at the same time. These dancing tongues, they flail, fly, flaunt faithfully. These dancing prawns, so scared of running out of time, of running out of air. Its leaders, the pack ever-seeing, pioneer the new vertical, categorical milestones. They show its compatriots paths in shifting sands, lights -- a shining mirage, an imposter heat source, all so these pretty stupid tongues flock aimlessly. It's this dance that entices me so to think of how even with scattered splinters within our bones, all of us, unanimously, provide a source of heat for our single, eternal humanity.
