Speaking Of Chalk

Views on chalk. The nature of chalk

This is chalk talk.... Speaking of chalk....

White chalk against the black board of life etches out 
A soul that has no molecules to do so viably
Like a virus that has no real life of its own
Must seek out something else to define solidity in being
A hand to grasp what it is or it is not
Chalk can not talk
Is that discriminating?
Some say it is not as interesting as a man
A hand must move it along the edges of the mind
Be kind to your chalk when you are talking
Philosophy is not chalks favorite subject
Black chalk on black boards is even harder
To read into the state of being human
Something we can say definitively
Chalk is not

Author's Note

There is entirely too little attention, consideration and talk, regarding chalk. No one speaks of chalk these days. I hope to remedy that situation. Enjoy your chalk. Respect it while you can.

I don't know...when I'm at the racetrack, I find it rather advantageous to bet the chalk.

Hi W.K. Thank you for commenting. I'm also glad that you took the time to consider a practical use for chalk. There is nothing like a day at the races. See how pleasant chalk talk can be. Have a great day. Earl
