Nowhere from Somewhere
David Vladyka

I am at Nowhere,
which is but a thousand miles from anywhere,
and but another thousand miles from somewhere.

Here at Nowhere there is nothing,
which is not but a thousand miles from anything,
and is not but another thousand miles from something.

I am not nothing nor no one,
nor am I anything nor anyone,
but I am something and someone.

I am the one something here,
though not anything or anywhere,
here Nowhere is Somewhere.

So am I somewhere from Nowhere,
or am I nowhere from Somewhere,
Where is Here?
