See the Bare Nothingness
In the early stages,
with cool detachment,
resist the urge to project.
We merely make ourselves.
[This] brings nothing,
contributes nothing.
A rejection of the impulse,
we must stop seeing,
resist the urge to project.
Behold nothing.
See the bare Nothingness.
Odd and baffling,
the bare Nothingness
takes over everything.
Resist the temptation to associate.
That is what we should strive to do.
We must consciously adjust
[our] way of viewing
[become] something sharp and clear.
With cool detachment,
resist the urge to project.
See the bare Nothingness.
 Collage poetry constructed from snippets of: A Short Analysis of Wallace Stevens’s ‘The Snow Man’.
