Floccinaucinihilipilification

Floccinaucinihilipilification-
an enormous word
and all about nothing.
The Big Bang word
of the English language.
Why didn’t they choose
a Latin word meaning
zero/ zilch.
Anyway I wanted to do
an arts degree in Nothing.
Yes a career on nothing
but the pay is poor.

Nothing for nothing
all for nothing
nothing to show by
die for nothing.

And yet after
the Big Bang from nothing
and fourteen billion years
of cosmic evolution
here I am
a thermodynamic being
writing to you.


How’s your floccinaucinihilipilification going?
Oh! It’s nothing really.

I got my arts degree in neverwhere too
