Warm morning rays

Pass through my body

Landing peacefully on the lake

Hazy fog rises up

Clouding my view

Ironic

Something clouding my view

The mist rises

rises

rises

Through the fog

My gaze lazily falls

On the ground small figures dance around

Their legs under their feet

Vehicles race around

The morning traffic howls

And howls

And howls

And howls

If i had eyes i would roll them

These figures have done nothing

If not pester me

With the morning hussle

The factories start

Spewing

Thick

Hazy

Smog

It shoots up from the tall buildings

Birds fly

Then drop

dead

dead

Dead

The sun has now set

The figures lights blaze

through the busy streets

Blinding me

The figures continue with their work

Not knowing of the birds

Dead bellow me

Or the smog

That fills my lungs

The smoke and smog

Render me feeling my age

Oh how i've seen these figures grow

How they used to stay so low

Now skyscrapers pierce my flesh

Airplanes run through my ribs

Fireworks scorch my skin

The sun is gone

I feel myself drift away

My consciousness drifting

Further and further

From my physical form

Farther

Farther

And farther

and

Farther
