Thank You for Nothing

Another day.

Business as usual.

Calling my muse.

Doing my duty.

Entering the underworld, looking

for answers there.

Going deeper now.

Hoping for something, anything.

If only there was a map. 

Just keep searching. I don't 

know what I am searching for.

Look harder. I really need a 

map. I might

never finish this,

or find a way out.

Persist, persevere, perspire, perambulate.

Question everything. Burn it all.

Rinse and repeat.

Start over as many 

times as necessary.

Walk down this tunnel. Look for the

X sign on the floor. Dig.

You will have to work all night. Come on. Show me some

zeal. Give me some zest.
