Nothing
nothing
it means nothing
wings spread
eagle span
to soar
like lead
crash and burn
kick the tin can
blue petrol spills
ignition
splutters
coughs
stutters
into time's abyss
dying with less a whimper
only slapping
forehead
with wet fish
stupidly incredulous
the simpleton grows
simpler still
nothing
it means nothing
don't get it
try denial
last resort
it works on all
that ails
and all that ever fails
