"Knowing Nothing" by Tom Hennen

The hole in the landscape is real.
I can walk through it and back again.
Every time I do
My clothes look baggier.
My hair sticks out.
My boots become untied.
My coat unbuttoned.
My education gone.
I don't care anymore how the world thinks.
I only know that the snow
Has reached my knees.

~ Tom Hennen, "Knowing Nothing" from, Darkness Sticks to Everything: Collected and New Poems
