black ink

on a white page

yellow with age

like a leaf of the tree

erased from the earth

when the paper was made

 

living woods laid waste for newsprint's

instant litter of daily lies

dead leaves unread in dusty tracts

pulpy paperbacks & packaging

triplicated bureaucratic bumf

 

sheets left blank

in the name of art

meant to express

complete

& utter

emptiness

no less

 

tomorrow

the world too

empty

only

blotted

ink black
