You know what you reminds me of?
In arthmetic they’s got a little figure they calls a Zeero.
A zeero is Nothing with a line around it.
Nothing with a line around it. That’s your present frame
of mind.
And you know what’s happened to you?
You was up on the corner Zeeroing at the top of your voice.
You was zeeroing at all the pretty girls passing by, and
I don’t blame your for that.
But that Ol’ Devil comes up behind you and sees this bunch
of nothing with a line around it called a Zeero.
And just like slipping the skin off of a grape, he skins
that line from around that Zeero.
And what’s left?
…..A PEELED ZERO’ Yessir, a PEELED ZERO.
Just a big bunch of bare nothing without even its underwear on.
And there ain’t nothing in the world so cold and dismal and
lonesome as a peeled Zeero. Nothing around it.
Nothing in front of it.
Nothing behind it.
