Everything And Nothing Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

Everything And Nothing

Everything is like everything,
and nothing is like nothing.
Everything turns to nothing,
and nothing is already nothing.

It is like mathematical logic:
everything does not last long—
only to end in nothing,
while nothing is already nothing.

Philosophically, therefore,
everything is close to nothing.
But poetry is no science,
and a poet must say:

Everything turns to nothing,
yet everything is.
