This Condition

Back to nought, an empty barrel for a frame
an additive identity for a familar existence
drifting aimlessly in the maddening sea
on a shore that waves lonely a dance back and forth
with a disparaging sequestration, a stumbling knot of nobody
if only zero plus something equaled an upheaval  from the
nothing not, a step from annihilation, a small remedy for the forlorn past.

Function of a Proof

There’s a function: too quickly killed

your over spent self comparing

and no, Never has a place 

a cause as meaningless as Too

even while, Like

the study of Broken

makes a Whole.
