Extremely creative poem that goes where no one has gone before.
Fantastic piece of art.

This sounds like a problem that programming and even algebra can solve!
elgin = bench
You can also say:
Let Elgin = {person}
Let Bench = {thinking chair}
Elgin U Bench //Elgin is one with the bench
So, with that all established, Elgin is in union with the bench, and therefor when he sits on the bench, which is an image of his self, he does indeed sit on himself. The bench, however, is an inanimate object, so it cannot do the same action to Elgin since it cannot move. On the same token, since the bench is inanimate, it cannot sit on itself, for it cannot move.
Ain't it wierd?
