A Story About Nothing

Knead your brain for any tiny thought-
Stop listening for something clever, something profound-
Stop thinking with so many words-
Knead your brain until it is mush.

Knead your brain to exercise your fingers-
Stop wringing them, stop folding paper over and over-
Stop cracking your knuckles, fidgeting your existence-
Knead your brain until it is mush.

Knead your brain to mold your dreams-
Stop denying yourself a chance-just one chance-
Stop saying a dream is a dream is not reality-
Knead your brain until it is mush.
