Twelve arguments for the existence of the soul


i

We’re all different.
Must be something.


ii

Cut off your finger:
you’re still there.


iii

Alive:  breath.
Dead: gone.
Do the arithmetic. 


iv

Man hides behind a rock.
Bird sees him.


v

No reason then
shouldn’t be now.

vi

For something to vanish
it has to exist.


vii

Einstein's soul:
Does the train move
or does the track?


viii

A number carries a forever:
why not a body?


ix

Pleasure, anger fade:
love, hate, don’t.
What are you?


x

Assume it:
see what happens.


xi

Music lives when it dies.
What about us?


xii 

We’re all the same.
Must be something.
