   I suppose it could be said it was necessary for me   
   one fine day in the middle of summer to summon rain.   
   Necessary for me to know such an event was possible.   
      
   Likewise it was necessary for me to move an object   
   by thinking it move instead of physically touching it.   
   To show me how such a phenomenon goes.   
      
   After witnessing my so-called self, or Self, individually,   
   doing such a thing, and saying, oh; it was necessary   
   for me to ponder how such thing was, naturally,   
   as easy as moving my own arm in a way.   
      
   If I did not do a thing, individually, by my self,   
   or Self, either way the word is spelled, and it was the world   
   that did it, I might as well say the world moves my fingers   
   and types these words, as it intends, through me   
   that words be typed.   
      
   I suppose. Necessarily.
