Everything is expanding

Everything is expanding

The road ahead

Longer than expected

Shorter by far

Than the distance between

Two points in time,

When the first one is fixed

The last one indeterminate.

It is all relative.

Everything expands

Wombs

The Universe

Things get further away

Ideas I once had

Now just out of reach

Everything expands except my brain

It shrinks

Waistlines expand

Generally speaking

(Although not for me)

A party balloon

Until it pops

A billionaire’s bank balance

Will continue to expand

When there is no space left

Tax rates are adjusted

To account for growth

And avoidance

I say they should be evacuated

Like bowels

Cleaned out

The polyps removed

Billionaires are the Haemorrhoids

Of the world

A pain in the arse

The distance between

Poverty and wealth

Has been expanded

It is no longer utilitarian

To dream

We are on a Mobius trip

There is no end

Everything is expanding

Like elastic

Until one day it will snap

An implosion

A secondary incendiary

Big bang thing

A pin-sized black hole

To suck everything in

I don’t know where it all goes.

In the final analysis

A physicist might say

The expansion

Will become a crunch

I don’t know what that means

It is all Euclidian to me

Expansion

Is full of holes, angles

And geometry.

I got lost

In the middle of

The hypotenuse

In Bermuda shorts

Waiting for the Billionaires

To pass on a

Bank balance expansion

That never came.

I’m still waiting.
