Elixir of
what? Of nothing. Oh, that's interesting.
Extremely interesting. Usually an
elixir is of something. Youth. Love. Immortality.
Power. Vitality. Stamina. Sometimes maybe even of
wisdom.... This one is of nothing. You drink one
gulp and nothing happens. Two gulps – nothing. Three
gulps – nothing. Four – nothing. Five – nothing.....
You keep on drinking and nothing keeps
happening. Gosh!
It's irritating. It can break your nerves down. You
are expecting something. All the time you are
expecting. Always something. Never nothing. And here
nothing happens. What
a disappointment. The elixir of
disappointment. Is it? Oh, no. Disappointment is
something, no doubt about
it. And
what is the elixir of nothing? Is it nothing? It
can't be nothing, because if it were nothing, it
wouldn't be an elixir. Could an elixir of nothing be
an ordinary, vulgar, insolent placebo? Just normal
water? Oh,
no. Water is the elixir of life. And life is not
nothing. Life is huge
something. Air?
But
air is the elixir of life, too. And huge something,
too. Vacuum? But
vacuum is something, too. Emptiness?
Is this bottle empty? >>>>
