Forever trapped in the locked room
buoys floating through darkened seas
each of us was born in a tomb
we may desecrate as we please.

Shadow puppets dance and sashay
forever trapped in the locked room
masks of rationale we assume
the yellow king is on his way.

Infernal planes spiral open
most minds are not fit to plume
forever trapped in the locked room
little priests find all keys broken.

A flat circle of our chagrin
dreams of being a person loom
this has and will happen again
forever trapped in the locked room.
