The Surface does Matter
response to the common saying that the skin of something is less important than its inside

Sometimes I ask, does surface matter?

It is a clichéd topic that can be applied

In an unconventional context.

People show their emotions with their skins,

That’s a majority of conversation

The surfaces of the earth is where we live

It’s no surprise that

all life populates near the earth’s crust

When matter collide, it is actually

just a contact between surfaces

When substance is formed,

it is the electrons on the surface

that do the interaction.

It is the surface of black holes that prove

The existence of space-time,

It is the horizon of earth that told us

The planet is not flat.

It is the surface that we see,

It is the surface that we live,

And of course,

It is only the surface that we know.

But sometimes,

“Beauty is skin deep”
