People seem to like to state
Their opinion regarding a glass
Contemplating whether
It is half full or half empty
Why is it never over flowing
Some say it’s refillable
What about replaceable
A few things seldom mentioned
It’s size or lack thereof
Think about it
A shot glass
A wine goblet
A quart mason jar
Half-full for one could be
Multiple fills for another
It’s cost or value
What is it made of
Melamine plastic or
Antique crystal
Where did the glass come from
Was it a family heirloom
Or an impulsive purchase
So many more questions
Could be posed regarding the glass
It’s interesting how we cling to ideas
Simplifying complex theories
Imagining we have made
A profound statement
Instead of diving Into a thing
Viewing it from all angles
What might happen
If we switched up
Took time to think
Contemplate
Analyze our concepts
Of a theory
Or saying
And of course
There is the important point
That the glass is really not
A glass at all
