The Thing About Media

The thing about media
is that if what you’re consuming right now
is bumming you out,
the next thing you consume
– you know: watch or read or listen to
(maybe eat or drink or smell
if you take in your information that way,
I don’t know)
might be funny or exciting
or informational.

And I’m not talking about media
to mean news, of course.
It could be, but I’m talking about the transportation
of ideas.
You get it, right?

Anyway, the thing about media is
it’s constantly changing
and your interests in it
are constantly changing, too.
You could like different streams
from different directions
and different amounts
and different kinds
– which could be different from streams
but could be the same…
there are just so many variables!

You could take it from the start
take it from the rear,
go en media res.
The sky’s the limit!
The thing about media is
there’s no way you can’t take it
except how they don’t provide it to you.

So… there’s that.
That’s the thing about media.
