News Travels

News Travels

News travels

through wires and tubes of glass

the fibre that they push to your curb

Headlines streaming

screaming

announcing things as though you haven't heard

... the news

People ask you if you've heard

... the news

As if you couldn't deduce it for yourself

a comment here

and a change in status

the pieces that steer your imagination

The universe congratulates her

and forgets about the rest of her suitors

who always seem to be the first to hear

... the news

I've first talked about this concept on October 22, 2008. I thought I had actually written a piece about it but as I reading some old posts today, I realized that I didn't actually write about it, I just blabbed about it. It's my theory about how information travels... it takes the path of least resistance to the people that the information will hurt the most. That's why secrets are such dangerous things to keep. They don't want to be kept. They can't be kept. The information will make its way to the people it will hurt the most. Peace out.
