It used to be much easier to tell a story Linear A protagonist An antagonist A beginning and an end Two hours Back to reality We began to tell our stories in triplicate Two hours Wait Two hours Wait Two hours Conclusion Now it takes a lifetime to tell a story Three hours Wait Three hours Wait Three more hours Wait wait Six or seven stretched across a decade Everything is an epic now Bright and loud and larger than life Spinning them out with such carelessness Undermining the meaning Money in the pockets When all I want is a warm quiet room And a good book
