When Plato died, his soul
Migrated to the World
Of Significant Forms. There,
He took two rooms in the house
Of the Essence of Plato
Whose shadow he was.
The two did not get along;
Plato marched with other shadows
Demanding a simulacrum of justice
For the unreal. Essential Plato
Reminded him that he'd once
Defined justice as doing one's job
And not being a busybody. "And what,"
Asked Plato, "besides this is the job
Of a deceased shadow?"
