ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 4
CONTINUATION
even zero has a hard time with nothing
it doesn't want not to be
leaning into the future
having before it that one last time
it hangs onto the zero of itself
that encircles everything
that went into making it
it sees how the great forces of gravity
and accident make one thing fall into another
and then both into nothing
there was a long prologue with no zero
there will be likely as not an epilogue
about the world after zero
where what is left over from the life of zero
goes on for awhile whether it is wanted or not
goes on though its trembling won't stop even in sleep
zero runs its eye along the line it has drawn
and sighs till it is empty of sighs
the line at least is a border
around the somewhere it is now
it is still not nowhere
it is still zero
