Circuitus

Ask any world-building
Fantasy novelist,
It’s awfully hard work

To create like a god
With only memory
And cultural downloads

For raw materials.
Real gods get the cheat code
Of an actual void.

Any twitch at all breathes
Something into nothing.
But still the brave writers

Writing from and for life
On higher and higher
Stacks of each other’s worlds

Suffer to create more
For the world-hungry hordes
Wanting fresh exit doors.
