Nobody noticed Somebody but didn't say a word. Somebody went on and on with details from every corner of the universe. Nobody nodded politely occasionally but stayed focused on a vast nothing, most of the time.
"Is there anything that concerns you", Somebody asked.
"Nothing much", Nobody answered.
"Don't you believe you should be concerned about something", Somebody questioned.
"Not really", Nobody said, "Answers answer themselves without much concern. I am free from the necessity to know things, collect data, mold realities. Things get resolved without much input, it's a daily thing, no sense in dragging more luggage than necessary of the past into the future, it's not my job".
There was a sudden silence that brushed up against the air, a fresh moment with an absence of noice, then Somebody went on. "I think it's important to know what is…………happening……..a responsibility tooooo……i'm gratified with…… what would the world be like if if if… if……"…..", ".
Nobody was nowhere to be found, lost in the silence, gazing out across the sea, the sea of mystery, a moment of beauty, truth sliding over the waters. He looked over at Somebody and smiled, mona lisa style.
They walked on, Somebody talking away out loud and in his mind to nothing listening.
Nobody hearing the depth, in the winds, the waves, the full-emptiness in everything.
