Everything Never Existed

Soon it will have never been
Any of it, any you,
Any you in it, any

It in you. Oh, you expect,
It will all go on and grow
As you’re compressed to a speck

In the stratum of your time,
Since that’s what happens in it,
As you’ve known it. It collects.

The catch is—as you’ve known it.
You’ve only known it as you
Knew it, and when you go, it,

However you knew it,
Goes too. You could have been fooled.
Everything you thought you knew

Was part of you. Everything
You goes with you. So what’s you
Now won’t be or have been then.
