Hyperbolic Times | Benjamin Nardolilli
These are hyperbolic times,
All the old descriptions are broken
Or they are inadequate for today,
As if we have outgrown the very words,
Like scandal or setback,
No one knows what will happen next
Because these waters
Are unexplored and unsourced,
They may be rivers, seas, lakes , or pools,
Involving waves in the distance
Or hills ready to come crashing down,
No one knows how things will stop either
Or the time necessary,
Events used to take their time to bleed
All the way to the front pages, now
We go from skirmish to war in days
And leak to resignation in hours.
