Where Thomas Bayes alive today he would surely
suggest that you chose to forget the effects of time
making your money off the evening news
living life as a self-maimed short straw

under a tree shaded by empty souls
I stand breathless with good posture
not necessarily requiring your grief to move on
but when I talked with God he had nothing to say to me, either.

Author's Note: “Someone’s got the answers, but I’d rather think that there’s nothing to be found.”

Poem title was taken from a headline in The Economist a few weeks ago.
