I can write a million poems
I can use a billion words
all from different languages

I can write you a story
I can tell you a lie
I can show you the truth

these 36,000 words
mean nothing
nothing
nothing

If I can't you tell you
nothing
nothing
nothing

I promise
nothing

I'll write about
nothing

I talk of
nothing

I am a poet
I prepare myself
to feel nothing
when the last line is written

all 36,000 words
meant something
