Being Nothing
I wonder if I could legally change my name to nothing.
Not the word “nothing,”
but nothing.
No name at all,
not even a stupid symbol like Prince.
I could see somebody coming up and asking my name.
And I’d say, “Nothing.”
And they’d say, “So you’re nobody?”
And I’d say, “No, I’m somebody.”
And they’d say, How can you be something if you’re nothing?”
And I’d say, “I don’t know...”
And then I’d cease to be.
So I guess it’s not a good idea after all.

if your name was nothing...not even the word, then when people asked your name you could even say "Nothing" it would just be silence. Then people woukld think you were snob and shun you and you'd die of loneliness and be ...nothing. You're right, bad idea.
