Something and Nothing

by Murray Lachlan Young

If beyond everything there is nothing
And nothing knows nothing of things
And nothing knows nothing of nothing
Then everything’s everything

And for every thing to be something
First something must say things are things
For without a thing, to decide things are things
Tell me how can a thing be a thing?

But when something says something is nothing
Then nothing is known by a thing
So the thing that said something is nothing
Makes nothing a thing that’s something

If beyond everything there is nothing
And nothing knows nothing of things
And something knows something of nothing
Can nothing not, not be a thing?
