for Mark Peters
Not just nothing,
Not there’s no answer,
Not it’s nowhere or
Nothing to show for it –
It’s like There’s no past like
the present. It’s
all over with us.
There are no doors…
Oh my god! Like
I wish I had a dog.
Oh my god!
I had a dog but he’s gone.
His name was Zero,
something for nothing!
