   Carving a thing up into parts can be done, and is, at times.   
      
   Seeing one thing as one thing can be a form of seeing.   
      
   Head, trunk, tail, ears, it's all one elephant.   
   No part is able to define the whole.   
      
   Ice, snow, steam, rain, stream, ocean, seeing all   
   as being the same thing, hydrogen/oxygen molecules,   
   they are not all part of the same thing. They are that thing.   
      
   Seeing the one thing as water or as an elephant   
   one may see how word cans are able to take great apes   
   and make them forms of a hue.
