Nothing wields more power than nothing
Weightless, shapeless
It should bear no threat
A vacuum
A pocket of air only given shape
From the something that surrounds it, but
To do nothing
To say nothing
To be … nothing
Creates something
Something that each morning must be folded up and
carefully put away as if it were nothing
