RE: Nothing

in #poem5 years ago

Well written. Especially the way you worked in a reference to "the call of the void" at the end.

Look far enough forward and you'll see Nothing. When I look far enough behind, I see Nothing too. I'm a Nothing sandwich I guess. But there is a whole lot of Something right now, and that's what I'm trying to focus on.

We work for the future, but then we arrive.
There is Nothing.

This touches me in particular because it's particularly true for me. I've got problems remembering things. I can look forward to something , work toward it, all I want... but if it's an event or an experience, and it happens, and it's over, not even a couple of weeks later it will all be gone... unless some extremely formative or novel shit happened during that time.

I guess when you're bummed out about the future being Nothing, the best thing would do would be to concentrate on the present, which is definitely, absolutely, undeniably Something.

But what if the present sucks? Welp. 🤷

Maybe we should jump into the void after all
