It was a beautiful morning I couldn't quite remember yesterday But the golden sunlight Whisked  away all my problems As I entered the kitchen My wife was making breakfast She laughed at something strange I laughed with her too Soon enough I was out the door And on my way to work I watched the brilliant sun Reflect off of monolithic buildings I quickly got to work But as soon as I was comfortable I noticed a strange man That I had never seen before However, I quickly forgot him And carried on with my work By the end of the work day I was content amd ready to go home Before I got into my car I saw the man again The one from the office Who I couldn't quite place He motioned me So I walked over to him He then took me down an alley I only now realized existed He began asking me questions Like what my name was And where I lived I replyed to these questions with ease He looked about Both ways down the alley Making sure no one was listening Or watching from afar Then he asked me some more questions Like who my family was Or where I grew up These I could not answer so easily After a time he motioned to me again And we walked out of the alley Onto a street Where he stopped and looked to me He pointed down the road And told me to walk Not wanting any trouble I complied with him I walked for a few minutes Until I saw a figure in the distance As I approached I realized It was the same man I had been talking to Taken aback by the strange occurrence I approached the man again He clearly knew What I had just experienced As the sun had begun to set He spoke more urgently Telling me something wasn't right Something was wrong with the world He told me I had to fix it But as he continued to speak His words were drowned out By the sun melting below the horizon The last light of day Crossed the darkening sky And dipped the towering monoliths In a grand solar radiance And then I woke up I couldn't quite remember yesterday But the golden sunlight Whisked away all my problems

Monoliths
It was a beautiful morning I couldn't quite remember yesterday But the golden sunlight Whisked  away all my problems As I entered the kitchen My wife was making breakfast She laughed at something strange I laughed with her too Soon enough I was out the door And on my way to work I watched the brilliant sun Reflect off of monolithic buildings I quickly got to work But as soon as I was comfortable I noticed a strange man That I had never seen before However, I quickly forgot him And carried on with my work By the end of the work day I was content amd ready to go home Before I got into my car I saw the man again The one from the office Who I couldn't quite place He motioned me So I walked over to him He then took me down an alley I only now realized existed He began asking me questions Like what my name was And where I lived I replyed to these questions with ease He looked about Both ways down the alley Making sure no one was listening Or watching from afar Then he asked me some more questions Like who my family was Or where I grew up These I could not answer so easily After a time he motioned to me again And we walked out of the alley Onto a street Where he stopped and looked to me He pointed down the road And told me to walk Not wanting any trouble I complied with him I walked for a few minutes Until I saw a figure in the distance As I approached I realized It was the same man I had been talking to Taken aback by the strange occurrence I approached the man again He clearly knew What I had just experienced As the sun had begun to set He spoke more urgently Telling me something wasn't right Something was wrong with the world He told me I had to fix it But as he continued to speak His words were drowned out By the sun melting below the horizon The last light of day Crossed the darkening sky And dipped the towering monoliths In a grand solar radiance And then I woke up I couldn't quite remember yesterday But the golden sunlight Whisked away all my problems
