I Am a Minimalist

I AM A MINIMALIST 
I DO LITTLE 
INTENTIONALLY
I MAKE THE MOST
MINIMAL STATEMENTS
ABOUT SIMPLE
AND/OR
 COMPLEX CONCEPTS 
THAT ARE ON 
THE CUTTING EDGE OF 
NOTHINGNESS
AND/OR EVERYTHINGNESS
DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE 
OF THE WORLD 
YOU STAND ON

I APPROACH MY WORK 
THROUGH 
EITHER ADDITION
AND/OR SUBTRACTION
IN LITTLE STEPS
GOING BACK 
AND FORTH
ON BOTH SIDES 
OF THE LIMITS  
OF THE OUTER RANGE OF 
POSSIBILITIES IN THE WORLD
UNTIL THE WORK
FINDS PERFECTION
AND A BALANCE OF NOTHINGNESS 
AND EVERYTHINGNESS
IN ME AND
MY WORLD
BUT SAYS ALL

NOTHING IS ACCEPTABLE
NOTHING IS SORT
