Notes About The Poem

Illustration of the cosmic phenomenon of false vacuum decay and its potential impact on the universe (AI-generated, unrealistic). Credit: Ideogram.

The State of Absolute Nothingness

The gamut of space is unmeasured 
as future projectory durations are futile
for the present
time is a provocative presence
with their backs to the wall 
subjecting humankind 
a balance with the course of its nature
having the incessant tock that ticks many off the wall
that faces trade with theirs 
and that soulless thing of their objection
where lies a litany of unfinished deadlines
leaving these higher-ups against the wall
sharing their objections
whining that the clock had run out of its time 
—preposterous
the vacuum of time is indefinite
there is no beginning
there is no ending
mayhaps the time of the day had expired
and if it be so
then there will always be a tomorrow
—time permitting
