Fall into the water
A puddle, a mile to go
Sinking ever faster
Time passing slow
A sea of eccentricity
Of Uncertainty

Apprehension eased
Approaching bottom
The surface to a world forgotten
A stone staircase compells you
Descend

Every floor, a door to what could be
What could have been
Every possibility
Looking out on a relationship that never was
The dog you never had
The skill you never learned
Or an unforseen fad
Homeless
A billionaire
Hopeless
Dispear
A family
Alone
An artist
An accountant
A scientist
Or a poet

Ascend
Swim
Break the surface
Wake up
