Poetry Corner: Nothing Happens!
JEMIA DE BLONDEVILLE
On average
I delete a minimum
Of about 50 emails per day
350 per week
About 1,500 per month
18,000 per year
And approximately
200,000 per decade
So I was thinking
If about 4 billion people
Around the world
Averaged about the same
200,000 times 4 billion
Unwanted emails
Floating around
Like lost ghosts
Wandering around hyperspace
Clogging up
A non-existent void
Words, and numbers
Along with brackets, commas, and full stops
Lies, and truths
All thrown in together
A hodge podge
Now all equal
As rejects of humanity
Discarded
Tears flowing, along with other words
Numbers unite, and subtract
And interact
Then divide
There then follows an algebraic orgy
There is much multiplication
The letter O falls in love with zero
And circles join in
For this narcissistic
Ménage à trois
Nothing is the outcome
And nothing happens….
