Prelude:
The world woke up a while ago
as it did not really care.
Even its hero passing through
is just another fare.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Narrowing Stairs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I cough up my own light bulb,
and there I sit awake
To move, to see, to grasp again
The system'd held my fate
~
In this realm, it appears,
We're the first to be
Living inside bricks of walls;
that wasn't you, that wasn't me
~
How did all my moments shift,
the sand's back on the beach
I'm churning with all the lessons now
the world bothered not me teach
~
Rake the halls and cardboard walls,
the shore seen out of reach
~
Long passed a mile of murder
filled up with humble peace
~
Now I saunter this man made scene
so harmonious on freeze
~
Talking sense, a third of us
never cared to wake
Even us left standing up
hold each a different plane.
