Poem: Because

A poem about how big this all is

It always cracks me up when you
mention a band or writer or someone
of note, and the other person seems
truly baffled they haven’t heard of them.
“How”, they ask, “has this happened?”
And the answer is always the same:
You haven’t listenedweirdly enough;
haven’t read widely enough.
You haven’t clocked the internet.
Because no one has. And no one will.
And that is what’s beautiful
about all of this.
