The creator’s challenge is enormous:
Conjure up a world using strange symbols
That seizes our attention; you know us!
We measure our attention with thimbles

We are born distracted and die that way
The intoxication of distraction
Is the one deity we all obey
You look like you could use a vacation

Stop trying to create different worlds
We have all the fiction we really need
Isn’t it about time your banner furled?
Talk all you like, but we will not pay heed

It is to this that creators reply
Know your audience; now teach them to fly
