sometimes it's nice to just talk about nothing.

when you
really think about it,
everything
is nothing.

even the things that
seem like something
are nothing
or seem like nothing
eventually

jesus was nothing.
i think he knew.

the age
we live in revolves
around nothing

that gasp of air
after a nightmare
is nothing, for
nightmares
dreams are
nothing.

the morning hello, the deathly kiss
the job well
done
the earth's sighing wind
the moon's grim stare
the elephant of a smile reflecting
in nothing
are all examples
of nothing

the wraspy
apologetic
crackling sound
your bones make
when you go to wrap
you arms around my
soul is nothing,
although,
for a moment
i really wanted it
to feel
like something.

inspired by a bunch of sparrows

and

"... it seemed necessary, because there are times when one needs to disappear while in the living room, and sometimes one simply wants to disappear, we made this zone slightly larger so that one of us could lie down in it, it was a rule that you never would look at that rectangle of space, it didn\'t exist, and when you were in it, neither did you, for a while that was enough, but only for a while..."
-pg 110, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer
