It

IT is, is IT?
If No, then forget about IT.
If Yes, then what is IT?
A fundamental question.
Multiple fundamentalist answers—

Formal and or Functional?
For most of us IT is anthropomorphic
Some believe that IT is present.
Thus, IT may be immanent and or metaphoric
Others think that IT is absent, though IT is;
That is to say, transcendent and metonymic.
IT may be language itself.
Maybe IT works through language 
(as for Lacan and Derrida).
Some are believed to have seen IT 
Or heard IT.
It is also claimed that you are IT.

IT may be what one takes IT to be,
Be it One or more.
We are all participant-observers,
And sciences attest it. 
Thus, IT is highly complex.
 
But what is ironic is that I wouldn’t share
my food, shelter,  property or love—
even with my sibling.
Yet I am all too eager to share all about IT!
