All This Extra Space

The media darlings
are sending fire through the wires again.
Well, only time will tell. Tell us what, though?
“That all things come to them gratuitously.”

As for us common folk, well, the jury’s rigged.

My thoughts grow bigger every day, it’s true,
but now there’s all this extra space inside of them,
and fuck, I dunno what to put in there.

Life discloses just so much,
and ultimately reclaims whatever it gives.
So what does that make us?
Part and parcel of the process.
