you take a seat
to a beat

that you think
means
more than

you or me

you take a sip
of recoiled water
imagining
yourself saved
from today's

squalor and misery

I love mankind
I love time
I love mankind

they see pain
as something
on a linear line
just like they see TV

Observe ye' clouds
Touch your sand
It has gone nowhere
Elsewhere
Nowhere
Here now

Inevitable is a state of time
No man
In the wake of nature
Has no say

Or plea of innocent crime.

Remember,

We are guests,

Guests,

In a land that laughs at our tumbling

Our rumbling,

At our care free ways.
