old news

I get the inside scoop
from jimmy,
the dirt
the skinny, the word
on the street
about what's going down.
he heard what's happening
on the grape vine.
across the fence,
online, off line,
between the lines.
it's shameful.
shocking. it's totally
outrageous, but it's old
news,
I heard about this
ten minutes ago, I tell him,
so what else you got?
