I’m no good at music, but I could hear through the dinging
That, the last time we were together, all of us stars were a’ singing
“The monad was the first thing that came into existence
It begat the… urr, dyad …without any assistance”
Those two begat the numbers, and then points they did become
Which over time, formed into lines, in a continuum
The lines then evolved into flat shapes, which we can conceive
But they grew up quickly, into three-dimensional entities
These begat the bodies, which became four elements
Earth, water, fire and air, and to me this represents
That the monad is thus a central concept, in my cosmology
Cos the world is built from numbers, as easy as one, two, three
