I Must Listen to the Birds.no title

text is displayed to look like simplified bird drawings. from left to right: but the state stole / all my good metaphors. There's so much nothing / already being done. There's No/thing(TM -Trademark symbol) to spare. Nothing(TM) galore. / Nothing(TM) frothing at the mouth of / our institutions. It's all anyone seems to / be able to afford these days. Nothing(TM) 5 for / $1 at Walmart. Nothing(TM) half off in / the targeted ad between my cousin's engagement / and the headlines empty of blame, nothing we / aren't already familiar with. We've got so / much Nothing(TM) we've wormed it into / everything we manufacture. High-fructose / Nothing(TM) sweetening our bloodstreams. Nothing(TM) / holding together our planes. Nothing(TM) pumped out / of our Nothing(TM) factories while Nothing(TM) / scholars argue back and forth whether all this Nothing(TM) / will haunt us one day. Is haunting us / now. Nothing(TM) in the hills and in the streams / and in the straining for the sound of play/ing. We gathered all the Nothing(TM) / and put it in museums so we wouldn't forget / all the Nothing(TM) we did. Curated Nothing(TM) exhibitions / and raed Nothing(TM) artist statements and hosted / galas sponsored by Nothing(TM). Saying *Look.* / Saying *Listen.* Saying *When there / is nothing left* *to mourn, the birds / will sing for us still."
