Almost Nothing

Almost nothing
close and near
step by step it'll bring
futures in very clear

Almost nothing
here and now
with moments to string
tomorrow's sow

Like balloons into air
worryings are going
lightness up the spiral stair
everybody's showing

Take the plough

Almost nothing
close and near
step by step it'll bring
every inch and square

Almost nothing almost nothing
and try you right on
feel the minutes how they ming
in between till they're gone

Permanent dwellings
always feel too small
there are endless retellings
one for each appall
