And then, everything
was nothing—that’s
when nothing became
all.
All took the fall
for everything, when
something arrived with it
and made everyone
look small.
Everyone felt tiny,
but tiny was truly big.
Out of the blue came
the twins—
This and that;
and the twins,
they lived tit for tat.
But enough of that—
let’s get back to it,
because around that time
fate kicked in the door,
saying everything
came from nothing;
now be on your way—
and let someone take all.
Nothing became
something,
and it was something
that took this
and blamed that.
It was then
appearance arrived—
fashionably late—
for its ride was karma,
who always takes
his time.
