conjuring in heaven

so finally there was nothing.
it was put inside nothing.
nothing was added to it.
and to prove it didnt exist
squashed flat as nothing with nothing.

chopped up with a nothing
shaken in a nothing
turned completely inside out
and scattered over nothing -
so everybody saw that it was nothing
and that nothing more could be done with it

and so it was dropped.prolonged applause in heaven.
it hit the ground and broke open -

there lay crow,cataleptic.
