INTERVIEW

INTERVIEW

Hello, so you’re a grain of sand
I hope that you’re the right one
It’s identification, you understand
Now that the counting has begun

You claim to be one in a million
Perhaps it is a different meaning
And it’s more likely to be trillion
Even to a higher number leaning

But now let this interview begin
So, what in your life stands out
Did you claim an ancient origin
Please tell me what that’s about

Found washed up on the beach
Maybe in the company of others
All so very close enough to reach
It’s as though you’re all brothers

You are an individual, you insist 
As a distinctive tiny size of grain
Your unique features I’ve missed
Unless you’d like to now explain

Across the world, different shades
Mostly gold, also black and white
Fine and coarse in various grades
Will you stand out, you just might

This interview’s been hit and miss
As your claim this distinct identity
But my last question to you is this
As sand, are you a discrete entity
