Original

A fountain pen on paper

You can name, label, and describe me.

You can say I have pretty brown eyes, or

A je ne sais quoi. But once you define me,

How did you know that you know me?

You can name, label, and describe language.

You can say a word can persuade and appeal to pathos.

Or that language is math, chemistry, biology, and physics.

But once you ignore all the other languages,

What do you have left?

You can name, label, and describe thinking.

You can say thinking is an original essay, painting, 

Or idea. But once you know thinking, 

What is original thinking?

You can name, label, and describe a movie or a book.

You can choose to make a sequel to the work.

But once you plagiarize a story, you

Also desecrate the original.

Because, how can the original still stand?

Original is the absence of a copy,

It is the entire world for you.
