The Outerworld I
Looking out past the cracked windows
of this tried tenement building
blankly stares into the busy ice frosted street.
I sit and watch the passing machine, humanity
every one a different shade size or identity.
The world we know is a fragile show
of what is real and surreal just beyond our senses…
I sit & watch, feeling the Outerworld turn
in its quite dark orbit around my inner eye.
People pass not knowing the truth of the other world,
as it burns, I feel it just beyond on my grasp.
Reaching completely clumsily into the veil
looking deeply into a fragile-looking glass.
Looking past frosted crack windows
feeling completely analog
looking cryptically into the world.
This moving machine,
moving slowly as humanity
a flesh and blood machine fleeting…
Watching the outer sphere turn
Waiting for what is coming to burn!
