Monad



MONAD

-noun
1. (philosophy)
a. any fundamental singular metaphysical entity, especially if autonomous
b. (in the metaphysics of Leibnitz) a simple indestructible non-spatial element regarded as the unit of which reality consists
c. (in the pantheistic philosophy of Giordano Bruno) a fundamental metaphysical unit that is spatially extended and psychically aware
2. a single-celled organism, especially a flagellate protozoan
3. an atom, ion, or radical with a valency of one






















I look upon myself as a frustrated monad
Crowded by the smallest numbers
Yet craving company still
(but only in my own allocated time)
