nothing and therefore Everything

it's impossible to chase nothing because there's nothing to catch.

and it's impossible to chase everything because... how do you carry it all? idiot .

       i keep pulling the rope and my hands are both raw and calloused

and i'm drenched in sweat but i keep pulling the rope trying to find the end

and i think i know that there is no end, because i think the rope is actually a ring.

       so i know it's stupid to keep pulling the it

i'm the only one holding it, i invented it, it's nothing and it's everything,

you can see the rope

you expect me to find its end

i want to find its end too

i know there is no end

i want to declare that there is an end and that i have found it. i know it will be some time until i let go of the rope but i don't know whether i will have found the end or if i will have given up.

        or maybe i have not and will not find the end not because there is no end,

and there is no beginning,

there just is,

and it's just me, and

        Everything interacts with nothing.

        in everything there is Nothing.

        even nothing is Something. i'll take Something over Nothing.
