you were a dark tunnel and i couldn't tell if the light in the distance was the blissful end
or just another overhead lamp that would pass as soon as it came
so i kept waiting, hoping
until the lights began to flicker and i couldn't even hope for an end because it all looked so ****
faulty and artificial
and i jumped off the train and a funny thing about momentum is you don't realize
just how fast you're going until
you're arguing with inertia
and adjusting to the stillness of the ground below
