WHEN SOMETHINGNESS BECOMES NOTHINGNESS

vegetable stalks in the drain

radio chaos between stations

a song from somethingness comes on 

something dances with something

who also dances with something

somethings switch partners, dance more

none of them go home with each other 

then nothingness comes around 

with a tall pitcher of mute black 

stolen from tomorrow 

the alarm rings cheerfully 

nothingness bathes somethingness 

on the dance floor

somethingness piles up
in drunken sleep

flowers pulled from the ground 

old batteries in a jar

nothingness tip toes over somethingness

doesn't need a doorway

just becomes the walls, the room 

the fluorescent interspace after

heat and shivers 

and life
