Yeah, thatt's about the line of thought he followed in the complete poem, but he was extremely frustrated cause he couldn't achieve much. Then someone he knew left the Tobacco shop and waved at him, so he snapped out of the metaphysical considerations. Regards, JP |

Although 'nothing' can be an important part of ones life. Has for me. Sailing was one of the best examples of having nothing happening. Peaceful or even sitting by the water (look below) Rick perseverance furthers |

Yeah, I'm still working on the same thing Peter, but now that I'm too old and sick to restore cars anymore I have had some time to rock back a bit and enjoy things a little more. I'm working hard on my rehab though.... Rick |

You are right, Rick!
But the poet who wrote the text started like that, had nothing going on in his room but a lot going through his mind. The complete text is "Tobacco Shop", but i couldn't find it translated in English complete, just excerpts. Another part: (Eat your chocolates, little girl! Eat your chocolates! Look, there's no metaphysics on earth but chocolates. Look, all religions on earth have nothing more to teach us than a candy store does. Eat, dirty little girl, eat them up! If I could gobble down those chocolates as trustily as you do! But I think, peeling off the silver wrapper, it's only tinfoil, And toss it in the floor, just as I've tossed away my life.) |
