Nothing

[Lawrence]

Wrote this in a fit of boredom at college.
My verse is mainly for fun, so I hope you enjoy!
(Critique away, of course)

I’m mailing a letter to no one
In hopes he will get back to me
But there’s plenty of busying business
In being a non-entity

He has got to show up in your pockets
Of pants that you’ve strung on your rack
And inhabit the inside of boxes
Your neighbors neglected to pack.

While he’s lurking within every bubble
He’s floating in deep outer space
Inside the one “o” in “trouble”
And every word you erase

And nothing is always greater than God,
And nothing is lesser than one
And nothing can ride moonshine on a wave
And nothing can swallow the sun

Hopefully after he’s done with his tasks
He’ll answer the letter I’ve wrote
In his usual fashion, lacking a stamp
On the addressless envelope
