nothing

Why would I want to know that kids eat free?
Is it just me,
or do questions like that only apply to them?
Not to condemn
those that ask.

When teeth are clenched so tight that my head aches,
what still makes
me tick
when the wick
has burned out?

Tears are merely the void,
an attempt to avoid
the inevitable,
only agreeable
to those that know …

nothing.
