Takes nothing to do nothing?
nonense, it takes the thought
the means to let go
and cut all those apron strings
that pull on something.

Nothing would come from anything I do
if I were to live my life as a failure
what assuredness would I have
that I actually did something
and didn't waste my time
doing a routine "nothing".

how sad to admit empty goals
be washed belly up on naked shoals
just as it is to observe empty spaces
which I constantly fill
as those that carry nothing
until I can perceive that I was there...
that I made a difference
between nothingness and a full house
I made that difference
between being the head of a group
and being there leading no one

still, nothing follows me in the night...
still for nothingness, I think I fight
