Nothing.

Tonight, I have nothing
but tomorrow must be something
because it's from nothing
that something comes about.
In that something,
will I be no one?
Will I be no one doing something?
Or will I be someone
doing nothing
in the midst of something?
I hope that some day
is tomorrow
and that one day
it's the next day
and I'm someone doing
something
somewhere
and that no one
doing nothing
was a thing of yesterday.
