Nothing is never nothing
Nothing’s gotta be something
And that something’s gotta mean something

What’s in the bowl?
Nothing.
No.
That’s not true.
Air is in the bowl,
a few left-over crumbs are in the bowl
something is always in the bowl.

What’s in a null space?
Nothing.
No.
That’s not true.
Zeroes are in the null space,
a few brackets and parentheses
something is always in a null space

Nothing is something we can’t see
but too bad, as long as my eyes work,
I can always see something

Nothing is something we shouldn’t be able to feel
but too bad, as long as my senses work,
I can always feel something

What’s your dream?
Nothing.
Nothing? A dream can’t be nothing,
unless you want to die and be inexistent
Becoming an adult is still something.
Say “something”
Better vague than hopeless

Any plans for the night?
Nothing.
Nothing? You can’t ever do nothing.
Laying on a cozy couch is still doing something.
Say “something”
Better living than dying

Any innovative ideas to make the world a better place?
Hmm… can’t think of anything...nothing!
Nonsense. Go pick up some leaves in your front yard.
PLEASE DON’T EVER SAY ‘NOTHING’

Everything in the universe has a potential to be something
Even the air in the bowl
Even the zeros in the null space
Even if your dream is to become an adult
Even if your plan is to sleep on a couch all day
Even if your innovative idea is to pick up fallen leaves

Do something.
Be something.
You are something
as long as you breathe, or not.
