In Medias Res
A not-so epic poem about an epic thing
In medias res means “in the middle of things”
It's how Homer's epics usually start
In the middle of things
When you think about it,
If you think about it,
We all start in the middle of things
There was a time before I existed
There was a time before us
A time before them
A time before life
Before atom
Before time
There will be a time after I am gone
After the universe shudders as she takes her very last breath
And time is no longer time
In between before and after
There is life
Life happens in the middle of things
