A piece of charcoal means potential unrealized. It is not quite status quo -- it is me, eighteen, becoming fully realized unlike a piece of charcoal I nudged with my foot while contemplating the concepts of full potential. Becoming more than a metaphor. Becoming realized within the confines of philosophic inconsistancies. Becoming more than charcoal. Becoming lit from underneathe. Becoming enlightened.
