nada y pues nada y pues nada
Good night,” said the younger waiter.
“Good night,” the other said. Turning off the electric light he continued the conversation with himself. It is the light of course but it is necessary that the place be clean and light. You do not want music. Certainly you do not want music. Nor can you stand before a bar with dignity although that is all that is provided for these hours. What did he fear? It was not fear or dread. It was a nothing that he knew too well. It was all a nothing and a man was nothing too. It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order. Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it was already nada y pues nada y pues nada. Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada

A Measuring Worm
by, Richard Wilbur (from The New Yorker magazine - February 11, 2008)
This yellow striped green
Caterpillar, climbing up
The steep window screen,Constantly (for lack
Of a full set of legs) keeps
Humping up his back.It’s as if he sent
By a sort of semaphore
Dark omegas meantTo warn of Last Things.
Although he doesn’t know it,
He will soon have wings,And I, too, don’t know
Toward what undreamt condition
Inch by inch I go.
