On Nothing
“When you have nothing to write about, write about nothing”
Christine Mazumdar - CBC Literary Writing Tip, 6:00 am, April 13, 2021
I'll not venture into Sartre, that's too existential
for in these viral times, my needs are fundamental
although it's hard to stop my being self-referential.
Where does my mouse prompt go when it disappears
before I go into Device Manager to return it now to here?
and with so many dying, why have I neither fear nor tears?
For deep inside lies nought but emptiness
which almost rhymes with nothingness
and a fear that it's all meaningless.
