the darkness

the carpet mesmerizes you

you stare

you stare

you are entranced

you body is here, your mind somewhere else

or perhaps where your mind is, is here

perhaps that has always been “here”

you cannot leave

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you cannot leave, you won’t

you cannot leave

you won’t

you won’t

you won’t

you belong here

you are here

you belong here

you are here

just bowl

and all will be well

just bowl

and bowl

and bowl

and bowl

and bowl

you snap out of it

everything is ok again

you think
