Ah, nothingness.
No joy, no stress.
Well? Unwell? Depressed?
Survival, more or less.
Ah, nothingness.
Wake up, get dressed.
Work, go home, re-nest.
Sleep but never rest.
Ah, nothingness.
Alive and dreamless.
Me? Oh, fine, I guess.
Can’t stand in the way of progress.
No joy, no stress.
Well? Unwell? Depressed?
Survival, more or less.
Ah, nothingness.
Wake up, get dressed.
Work, go home, re-nest.
Sleep but never rest.
Ah, nothingness.
Alive and dreamless.
Me? Oh, fine, I guess.
Can’t stand in the way of progress.
