Original Signs..

I thought about it day and night; in fact,
i couldn't think about anything else;
actually, this was the first oppurtunity i had had to think something;
or should i say: to think something had not been possible,
first because there was no things to think about,
and second because signs to think of them were lacking,
but from the moment there was that sign,
it was possible for someone thinking to think of a sign,
and therefore that one, in the sense
that the sign was the thing you could think about
was also the sign of the thing thought, namely, itself.
