erase
every word

the thoughts
quash
the heart
obliterate
the soul

there is nothing

nothing
no thing
no nothing
no
begin
at the middle
go back
to the end
then circle round
to finish
at the beginning
once you figure
it out
let me know
I’ll be waiting
(D James)
talking
through static
for hours
about life
about love
the past
the future
everything
and nothing at all
of all
we could do
with the time
there is nothing
better
than this
(D. James)
you want
to say
something
but like a dog
with limited language
all you do is bark
of all the words
of all the sounds
of all the languages
in the world
you bark
because you realize
if every word
of every language
were known to you
they would all amount
to the nothing more
than barking
so go on
you dogs
make your statement
sing your song
bark your fucking
ass off
it’s all the same
in the end
(D. James)
Nothing is permanent
not even that statement
Nothing lasts
all is temporal
We are nothing today
that we were yesterday
It only seems that way
because it’s all we have
to look forward from
(D. James)
