Poetic Podcast Episode 7

We’ve got a reel short attention span now, it’s just about forty seconds long; Then distracted we look away; Tik tok reel short; Tick tock; Due to lack of interest or investigation they go and raise the survival baseline; Again; Easy gains aren’t solid, they get real hard to shed; If you ever can; Tick tock; Real hard; Tick tock; But they like it that way, filling us with this sense of dread; Dependent and intoxicated; Sluggish now we miss the repeating pattern and risk unlearning the lessons of the past; Tik tok reel; Snap! Tick tock; Now we’ve got a reel short attention span, it’s just about forty seconds long; Skeletons squawk but can’t really talk; Echo chambers drown original thought.
