wasn't time,
but the flow of information
from the five starving senses
to a full-
to-bursting mind?
And space,
the last few stage flats
of an off-broadway production
that has already been shut down
which have yet to be
rolled away?
What would that
suggest about the cost
of doing business?
What would that say
about the price
of our admission
when we're bitter
enough to part
with our credulity,
but still
willing enough
to pay?
