nothingism. the new reality that is nothingness. postmodern science for the postmodernist. matter doesn't really matter and now matter knows it.

a reality full of holes
fractured cracked
crumbling

a reality that melts
increasingly
as our examining look
examines it
(until)

we find ourselves
finally
upon the threshold of
an open shore
a noplace a nowhere
shivering shyly beneath
a cold burning nosun
confronted by
a terribly sudden herenow
and tiptoe tetering
upon the edge of
the abyss
of nothingness

or so says a recent book
by the noted scientist
henry adams
in

measuring the
unmeasurable
subtitled
attempting to empty
the ocean
with a spoon
and a tune

"in the beginning
nothing
at the end
nothing
in the middle
nothing

nothing
endlessly
deviding itself
nothing
endlessly
multiplying itself"
