Poem About Nothing

What’s the name of this place?
I know. Mandy told Mindy about it
and she called Candy and now
we’re here, I mean
we could be gone any moment
I know. Like did you hear about
all those animals at the shelter
and the students at ___________ and
I know. I heard
I was so scared last night
we were under tornado watch
the power went out and we didn’t
have any candles. I know:
I’ll write a poem about nothing.

[Joanne Kyger / Anselm Hollo]
