The Existence of Nothing
by jennie kathryn


K.
There it's not blank anymore.
I sat here looking at a blank page
Couldn't think of any words to put on it.
So, I wrote a letter.
But what is so wrong with a blank page?
Plenty if you're trying to write a poem
Nothing if you want art.
The again, a blank page is poetry in itself.
The existance of nothing.
Now that poem is ruined
All because I just sat looking at it
What I thought was only a blank page.
Next time I'll know better.
Then again, maybe not.
I'll have to write something on it
Even just to explain that it is my poem.
Blank page.
Take back K.
