1414

Nothing now to mark the silent hours

Nothing warming hearts within the rain

Nothing reaching out across the void

Nothing here to melt away the pain

Nothing to arouse a troubled mind

Nothing changing, everything the same.

Nothing comes of nothing, speak again,

Said Lear, but of course he had not read

The latest theories circling my brain.

Nothing comes of nothing?

Well, it seems that that idea is dead,

Assuming the Higgs Boson can attain

Respectability, and assumptions wed

Themselves to prove that nothingness can gain

Corporeal presence; no matter that my head

Can't cope and needs an aspirin for the pain.

Nothing comes of nothing.
