nothing and nothing at all

In art, d. james, literature, poem, poetry, writing on 11 February 2012 at 4:10 am

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)

glorious

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)

did you say something?

In art, d. james, literature, overweight champions, poem, poetry, writing on 9 May 2009 at 8:31 am

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)

The temperature of the temporal

In art, d. james, literature, overweight champions, poem, poetry, writing on 16 March 2009 at 4:39 pm

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)
