We Meet Under Tables
Of our own volitionLike cell divisionOnly one part smallerThe other is greaterIt speaks and we marvelWe cluster aroundAs we see its positionTales to tell childrenLike what to say, where to go, who to knowWe're blind to the eventWe take our placesA trio or duetWe meet under tablesWe speak in short sentencesDerive any meaningFrom any more statements From Letras Mania
