Appearance and Potato

Appearance..

This word finds usage

As the impossible

Paradoxical label

For Nothing..

For all which seems

A world of objects

Yet is nothing..

There may be  

Resistance to this

Label as a death 

Knell..as a ghostly

Remnant of what

I know I am...



Suppose a new label

"Potato" for example

Is used for the

Paradoxical

World of objects..

Perhaps resistance

Would then find

This earthy vegetable

A distortion of what

I know I am...??
