Dark?

[Xannari Ferrows]

One could argue it is something to do with darkness.

Well it appears I've confused everyone so hard to where they left, so here it is: Travelling at light speed.

You see photons at light speed, yet you yourself cannot move at light speed.

Time does not exist to a photon, so to it, it's velocity is infinity, yet it cannot move anywhere because no time has passed.

Time is perhaps just an illusion, but something that does not exist for any given amount of time to itself cannot know that.

If you are with a photon, to you, it and yourself no longer exist, yet have lived your lives to it's fullest.

Nothing is something

Last sonnet I have in storage: I'll admit the second last line was awful so it was omitted... so the entire last stanza is gone...

Spoiler

Made of some such seemingly sound logic

But making no explicitly round sense

Making the world something quite chaotic

But never out of a proper, tight tense

 

He comes from some very profound thought

But it has little depth at all this jest

He comes to you, this tough little knot

But it leaves you at your very new best

 

Used in that small bit of a friendly tease

But used in the street with great, broad reaches

Used without thought on the side of a wheeze

But used with a light mood in grand speeches

edit 2016: answer was "joke"

Hmmm, this thread was abandoned, but I think I got it. Aside from the number 1 being spelled out, I think the answer is digits!

[cantab]

Oh yeah. Or house numbers (like to put on your door), is the usual answer.

If @Ethanadams doesn't confirm soon I move that Stranded gets to post the next riddle.

House numbers, of course! Only $1? Must be the cheap stick-on ones
