Rien by Rachel Bennettplease, do help yourself
to our plentiful servings
of lacking and empty.
we've got refills
of want and desire
one hundred percent off.
drink up!
you wouldn't want to waste it,
that huge glass of nothing.
you won't regret it
(but we sell that too). 01/30/2010 Author's Note: Poemuary Entry #30.
