Nothing













Nothing but ticking clocks,
non-stop.
An irremovable blot.
A ceaseless movement forward
into nothing.

Nothing but wondering why
our time seems to fly,
or what's beyond the sky.
Why do we even bother, to try.

Nothing.
Surely there's a point
to our creaking joints?
A meaning
behind all these feelings.

Nothing, but old photographs
in a worn-out frame,
of a long-forgotton name;
that will still only fade,
to
nothing.
