About Nothing
I watched her draw a circle
and I began to think
Where does a circle end?
Why pencil over ink?
If you can erase part away
then it must end somehow
Perfection doesnt exist
So make a perfect circle now
What if it were pen
and she made a mistake?
Would she draw it again?
What if the pen breaks?
Then she’s right back to graphite
un-permanent and used
What about light?
Is that unending too?
If you can draw a perfect circle
Can you draw light as well?
You can change a shadow
but can you draw a sound?
If you can hear noise
how can you paint
how you feel, what you hear
when you shatter a plate?
All I know
is that with a pen
the light of a circle
is that it has no end.
