Far away from inside myself
Watching this prosperous land
Sitting in front of me
With people sipping lattes
Plugged into a virtual reality
All seems so surreal

Children rush through
Shelves filled with
Memories of far out places
Losing themselves within
Someone else's stream of consciousness

Every day I wish that
I could fit in this
Bubble with the rest of you

At the end of the day
As the lights fade
Lonely pages are stuck
Waiting for someone
To give them a purpose
