Including Zero
Looking at the sky, I know what these clouds spell. Something’s coming. But we’re here now in the blazing, blinding, pasty-legs-finding sun. ‘Now’ does count in the summation of it all. Even if ‘Now’ slips through my proverbial fingers too rapidly to hold onto, it is here. Then again gone and again here and gone. Another dawn rolling on.
There was a day in math class when I came to the realization why my addition was always incorrect. I didn’t include zero. Everything counts. Especially nothing.
