Sartre

Out of red concrete stands an abstraction

held out in space and in isolation.

Posit a location, Pierre

I'll be there to where you be.

But from the ground of the cafe

the distance becomes separated by unity:

point A to point B

pinpointing the heart of reality

for what was once 'to be' now stands 'not to be'.

A pre-judicative attitude always leads

from 'being' to 'non-being'.

 

Where is the comfort in

trying to rest

between Nothingness?

While negating in

A sleep while asleep?

Am I not self-aware through self-consciousness of

'The Existence of a Nonexistence Existing in Existence'?

How can there be Nothingness if before Nothingness

there is a Consciousness?

 

There is a Consciousness! From Being!

From a non-being being Being!

Thus, don't premature judge and expect the "expected"

Expect the unexpected

and save nonexistence from non-existence;

from "being" to "non-being"
