Being and Nothingness

i haven’t done anything

meaningful in so long

it’s almost meaningful

to do nothing

i suppose i could fall in love

or at least in line

since i’m so discontented

but that takes effort

and i don’t want to exert anything

neither my energy nor my emotions

i’ve always prided myself

on being a child of the sixties

and we are all finished

so that makes being

nothing
