THAT IS NOT THAT

It's hard 
to understand 

just how much 
space expands 

as soon as its
collapse 
is grasped. 

The clockwork 
movement 
of the gears 

can't move anyone 
to tears 

unless they 
observe 

that there 
aren't any gears.
In other words: 

the rapture 
of freedom 

only comes 
with admittance 

that there's nothing 
whatever to be 
captured—or to capture. 

It's a pittance 
when you 
comprehend 

that all of this
is emptiness..

But fortunes 
are brokered 

whenever 
you notice that

emptiness 
(nonetheless)
appears.
