Not about anything

There are no more gas stoves they are collecting their zeros.

You have learned about me from the papers, but you know that they lie.

The main thing is that I can still feel
The main thing is that I can remember
Too bad that I've never painted, it would be something I'd love.

I'll sketch you your hand, I'll read you your thoughts
I won't think of the sounds, I won't remember the numbers
I'll tell you some jokes but they're not very funny
Today was too long, tomorrow is shorter, than...

Perhaps after a thousand years go by
You will see my comets in the sky

The main thing is that I can still feel
The main thing is that I can remember
Too bad that I've never painted, it would be something I'd like.

I'll sketch you your hand, I'll read you your thoughts
I won't think of the sounds, I won't remember the numbers
I'll tell you some jokes but they're not very funny
Today was too long, tomorrow is shorter, than...

English adaptation of Zemfira Ramazanova, Главное (the main thing)
from the album Четырнадцать Недель Тишины "fourteen weeks of quiet"

this song on open Sesame and it is still in copy I'll place it here. It seems fitting.

Thanks for the essay poem about nothing.

Starting with crayons. Or chalk pastels, they are fun.

Stay on track. Stay in lane. Don't throw rocks.
