The Epstein Files

because we have no lives to speak of,

we are waiting

breathlessly

with a nervous tick in our eye,

for the Epstein files,

we need to know

what this dead man did.

we have to know, we can't go on

unless we know

more sordid details.

how can we possibly sleep at night?

we need names and places,

we need film, pictures,

documents, receipts.

we need a list of victims

and perpetrators.

tell us everything.

and while you're at it, how

about those Kennedy files,

both of them,

and the UFO files,

the P. Diddy files,

the Covid files,

the Jimmy Hoffa files,

the Marilyn Monroe files,

the moon landing files.

we need to know where the bodies

are buried.

we need to know who done it,

who's guilty.

we need to know who to shame

and drag through the streets.

please Mr. government, 

give us what we need.

we're babies in a crib.

we need transparency.

don't make us beg, please. please.

please.

we can't sleep.
