This Is Not a Pipe

This is not a pipe
I can see that
No bite, or burn, marks
It’s just a piece of art
Nothing you can get a grip on

A pipe is made for smoking
I keep mine stored away, haven’t used them for a long time
I remember a pipe, stuffed with gunpowder from a children’s playgun
Suprised me that pipe - didn’t see the little rascals for quite some time
What is a pipe worth, if it isn’t a pipe?

A memory is like a picture of a pipe
It doesn’t exist
I can open the drawer
Pick up the pipe
Ceci n’est pas une pipe
