When and by what is the better question,
there areย guards at the door asking for me
I knew they'd be coming.

The half finished nightmare
the unfinished scream,
filed on computer for
others to dream.

It's ova and over and
I'm getting out which
is when
to hatch plans.

I divide and the guards
home in on where I hide,

I divide again to a
subdivision
of the division,
reform and make
the decision to
stand and fight,
but the nightmare was right
I should have been there
at the end,

It is forever night
in the silo until
theย rockets ignite
the projects
project
unleashing the light
and again I was right,

when and by what is the better question
