"One of Those Things"

I know they are nothing

Out of the ordinary,
Uninspired words we find
Ourselves saying when

Something common-
Place happens, which
Happens so often,

So why
Are we at a loss
When they no longer appear?

  1. Vassilis,

    it's always the supposed 'nothings', the realities we don't see, that prove to be packed with the most meaning.

    It's an Eastern insight we who are too saturated with self-serving neoliberal sentiments should pay more heed to.

  2. I suppose that's why so many are taken aback when they find their ears packed to the plenty with nothing--they don't hear anything!

    Thanks, Conrad.
