Don’t Go in There

That the null set is shown
As the coil of a snake
With its nest in curled walls

Does not mean that the snake
Makes a meal of its tail.
The snake is not the null,

But a sign to show us
How to think of the null.
The coil of the snake rings

No one thing, not a thing,
Not so much as a wave
Of the tail it just ate.

Now think. The point must be
Found in the cracked wave. Waves
Break as points and more waves.

Think twice. No waves, no world,
No things. The coil’s a door.
The door is not. Now stop.
