DEAR NOTHINGNESS
-I realize that you’re not,
never were and never will be,
and yet, I believe that we
knew each other, even before
either one of us became aware
of the other’s non existence.
-I’m also grateful
that this paradox has allowed me
to use the word “paradox”
in this piece.
-So, good-bye, Nothingness,
(which could also be “hello”) –
In either case, I’m glad
that I’m not happy about it,
for if I were, it could turn
into the opposite…
-So, Nothing… may I
call you Nothing for short?
you don’t have to worry
about anything…
you don’t exist, therefore
