Hiccup in Pomes and Epigrams

There will never be an end
to the internet.
When you were young and read
the encyclopedia,
eventually, you shut the cover on “zygote.”
But on the internet,
something unremarkable happens on the way to zed,
a wormhole opens up, and
now you’re learning about every pop culture reference
to the hit single
produced in 1972.
You reach the end of the magazine and eschew the sudoku.
But on the internet
you might also like
a thousand people said stuff
or the list, after a hic
cup
continues on forever.
But you don’t.
Inputs from dawn ‘til dusk.
Was I made for output?
Or am I a black hole
for all of human knowledge?
