Mammals Versus Reptiles

Jose Hierro

After all, everything has been nothing

although one day was everything.
After all, or after all
I knew it was not more than anything.

Scream "everything!" And the echo says "Nothing!"
Scream "Nothing!" And the echo says "everything!".
Now I know that nothing was everything, and everything was
ashes of the blue.

is not anything that was nothing.
(illusion that was believed everything
and, ultimately, it was nothing.)

cares that nothing out of nothing
if nothing else will, after all,
after all all for nothing.
