they went about their business
knowing nothing
controlling everything
and expecting us to believe in them

they couldn’t have been
more wrong
but then you knew that

you knew that if anyone ever leaned the truth about their plan they might also doubt gravity itself and just float off into God knows where

why should we care

nothing we’ve tried so far has worked
at all
we’re no closer to the truth than before

thing is…
the last thing that seemed even remotely plausible was that they have this giant wheel that goes round and round and round

now and then
the wheel stops
and something happens
and then…
round and round and round

they don’t appear to have more to do with the wheel
how long the wheel spins
and where the wheel stops
seems completely random

and the things that happen
draw meaning from the specific circumstances
particular to that situation

but still
they are believed
to control the wheel
and thus
everything else

apparently so
