I see the ladder in the      distance
But according to the timeline
of the conversation
we only spoke       briefly
on the ladder

We spent the majority of time
climbing up and
down
It’s hard to  speak
when              climbing
Do you notice that?
Can I safely ask that in context of the conversational timeline
as we travel farther away from it?

It looks            lonely
but reminds me of a dream
The undefined lighting is a large factor
The ladder is         outside,
on a beach, dead center
It’s really          inside           a room
That’s why the lighting is off
I can see the corners of the       walls meeting

But you don’t care about the ladder
You’d rather move forward
in the timeline
to a more recent conversation

Just let me have another moment with the ladder
then I can move on
