what is it about nothing that makes it something?
when you try to think about nothing
there is always something
to take your thoughts away
to another time and place
which is not where you wanted to go
in the first place
think about something and all you get is nothing
a blank sheet of paper to stare at
with your mind's eye
wandering all over the place
anxiously forgetting
what about the present moment?
now your conscience is in place
instead of out of joint in your head
where there is something, maybe nothing
