NOTHING

 

 

Nothing exists.

It’s what’s missing.

It’s what I wish was here,

but it’s not.

 

I feel nothing.

That proves it exists.

I have a place for it,

if and when I get it.

 

In the meantime,

I’ll try anything –

sometimes something –

but I know nothing,

 

Hold on, I know something:

I now know why mystics

say God is nothing because

you can never quite get God.
