Sweet Slightly I Am

Sweet%2BNothing.jpg

1.

In my old job
In my Old Life
I said Everything
And Nothing at all.

In my New Life
my goal
is to raise the bar
to slightly Above Nothing
the sacred Sweet Spot.

If I am slightly above nothing,

I will be one of the greatest to walk

2.

The Earth

slightly above nothing

is
after all

our whole planet.

That's what God told me anyway,

of his effort.

God, my god anyway, is the most humble
of Beings.

3.

So I'll be, or strive to be,

slightly above nothing

this life, as I live

and nothing at all

when I am gone.

This explains why poetry is
near impossible to translate
and impossible to write
if one trys.
slightly above nothing

4.

takes the most effort

if you are human

and no effort at all

The sacred sweet spot

is what my god kept saying

my god my god my god!

allow me to be
slightly above nothing like you
I'll try my hardest;
I'll not try at all
I'll be ready to be nothing

5.

to be Nothing

when
The
Time
Comes.

My Death is Now

Here
On this very page.

Slightly above Nothing
Sacred is the spot
so Sweet.
