Today
I have been instructed
that certain numbers are “significant”
and certain numbers are not
when measuring,
weighing,
calculating,
or otherwise
quantifying existence.
Sometimes zero matters
and sometimes it does not,
so sometimes nothing is important;
and nothing
is something,
but nothing can also
just
be
nothing.
I occasionally am
(negative infinity – positive infinity)
but
I am
more often
0
and cannot tell if
I
am supposed to be
nothing
or
something.
