now that i have everything
the drive is dead and i wallow in all of this
when i had nothing
the hustle was strong and i fought for all the scraps
everything is nothing
nothing is everything
what was once reward is now only
a minor and nagging annoyance
what was the stuff of dreams
now manifests as dismissible
nothing was everything
everything will be nothing
now that i have everything
i now have everything to lose (& nothing to gain)
when i had nothing
i had nothing to lose (& everything to gain)
everything is nothing
nothing is everything
here among everything
there are absolutely no excuses
when there is nothing
survival does not procrastinate
Sometimes it seems that the majority of time effort and energy
is burned getting to nothing
Where “nothing” is the briefest of moments
of balance clarity purity and space
Moments where things are simultaneously
all-caught-up in-progress and pre-planned
These are the transitional segues between
all the things that otherwise occupy
As the obvious can be mistaken for cliché
getting to nothing is the path to middlespace
Maybe it's reconciliation
or self-reconciliation or
some sort or cosmic
or karmic balancing
Maybe it's a last desperate
gamble to hold onto one last thing
or to tell the story from
a perspective bathed in experience
Maybe it's a seasonal nostalgia
or the cycling of sun and emotion
or just an increasing comprehension
that the days and months and years are shortening
• There are things about me that only I know
Other than secrets and truths there are
beliefs and preferences – affiliations and biases.
Only I know the context and the history.
Only I know the whys.
• There are things about me that only I will know
I know what frights and I know what soothes.
I know the effects of time and proximity.
I know the associations with smell
and the angle of the sun.
• There are things about me no one needs to know
The degree to which shame, embarrassment,
loss and guilt sting is unique to me.
As are pride, arrogance and joy.
Only I know what it is I see.
• There are things about me you should know
