Whats the point
of having something,
if it isnt even there.
But then again,
if it isnt even there,
then is there really something?

with something to think about....this is gretchen

hrmm, interesting point, however, what is something that isn't even there?? maybe I just need to be beaten over the head with examples

Very thought provoking post, Gretchen!

What's the point?  I'll tell you... to have something to hope for.  To have some sort of optimism in one's life, no matter how small or how big.  Everyone needs that sense of securtiy... however false it may be.  Right?
And your second question... is it really there?  Well, I think anyone can begin to doubt something if they think about it long enough.

Heh, enough of my blabbering.  I liked this.  I haven't seen your work yet, so I hope to see more of your poetry.

Oh yeah, and the ending... "with something to think about....this is gretchen" completely reminded me of something someone would say on the radio. Tres cool!

Anywho, well done. Enjoyed!
