16kps :  How Do You Start With Nothing?

Written by Paul Hall in a small one-person tent in the Joinville camp grounds in the suburbs of Paris, in 1981.

How do you start with nothing?

First you start with air.

Then you energize hydroxide in terra

to prepare.

You must do the movement.

You must bring the seed.

You must gather people

once you have agreed.

First there is the nothing,

then there is the small.

Anywhere you are

you can find those "none at all"

that grow into the healthy

and avoid the death

of the hatred of the selfish

and the jealous frosted breath.

There's no need 

for being giant

or being great with haste.

Preponderance

in time gone by

will only lead to waste.

Keep searching for the balance

not striving for excess.

Keep trying every valence

until you find success.
