When there are no jobs to be had, you can't make a dime out
of nothing
When all of the words have gone cold, you can't make a rhyme
out of nothing
Don't listen, he said. Those country songs will break what's
left of your heart
When there is no villain in sight, you can't make a crime
out of nothing
Seek peace, she said. In the mountains we pick our way to
our own kind of quiet
Where there is no air to carry it, you can't make a chime
out of nothing
Breathe now, through this minute. As long as you breathe,
you are living. That I know.
But when all of the minutes are gone, you cannot make time
out of nothing
My friends, here we are. Free as trolls, free as snakes. We
grab whatever we can.
But never tell me some blessed day I won't climb right up
out of nothing
