Field Of Memes

 “If you write it, they will post .”

Everything sound bites in a feeding frenzy 

when clickbait roils the wavelengths.

Mad Ave. speaks:

“It’s the shorter the better, ‘cause

it’s all they can remember.”

“Raid kills bugs dead.”….

a slogan coined for an ad campaign 

by Beat poet Lew Welch. 

I remember it.

So, you see, I’ve written too much

already. Sometimes, like this poem,

all you really need is the title.

There’s no need for long stories like

before, when all we had was writing…

even Readers Digest wasn’t good enough.

Humanity is moving steadily towards

knowing everything instantaneously.

Would you call that God?

Or, a Gnostic meme come true?
