we all know

we all know

the score. the drill.
the scoop.

we know.
they know.

everyone knows.
if you live long enough

you figure it out.
you understand

what comes,
what goes.

you try not to worry
about it too much.

the deal is done.
the world spins
with or without you.

what's real, what isn't,
gets clearer

with time.

now we know everything,
and in reality

we knew
it then.
