This is a poem about nothing at all because my mind is blank. I am echoing from ear to ear. Not even the cobwebs have anything to contribute to the thought processes. I close my eyes to concentrate and my chin falls to my chest. My breathing deepens but my thoughts don’t. The only thing I can fill my thought bubble with is ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. A couple of toothpicks later, and my eyes are open and unblinking. I can see clearly but my thinking is opaque. My stomach is talking, it wants cake. Without a first or second thought it’s yogurt I brought and yogurt I will have too. My stomach will have to make due. Yes, my mind is empty, it’s a big ole goose egg, hollow as a wooden leg. Amazing what I can write about nothing, it is the one thing I have more than enough of. |

I sat around for a couple of hours waiting for something 'brilliant" to come to mind... but nothing did, so I went with that. As soon as I decided to write about nothing the words flowed like water.  ~L |
