RED SHIFT

RED SHIFT

I am
getting
red-shifted

stretched out
and with this insane
elasticity

the laws of physics
laws of human society
changing
  as space time itself changes

as idiots
get stretched out, magnified,
find themselves
in positions of power

owing everything
to entropy, to the twenty
first century
media miracle
of slavish stability

sitting dumbfounded as
it all goes to
shit around them
             yet not
quite dumb enough
to go down
with the ship

easy exoneration
one of the true, necessary
blessings of absolute power

this red
shifting me beyond
the old
degrees of
acceptance this
practice requires
