Poem

What is zero?

I am zero, but what does this mean?
Am I nothing, irrelevant and empty?
Do you consider me to positive, negative or neither?
Or is zero even a number at all?

I am zero, but what does this mean?
I am the score at the start of every soccer game.
I am the point at which water will freeze.
There is no distance between you and me.

I am zero, but what does this mean?
Divide by me and get no answer
Multiply by me and always get the same answer
I am zero, so many uses you’ll see.
