The Rider

I enter in a large white room high is the ceiling straight are the walls round are the corners door lies across on the other side in the center I see a large black hat square in shape drooping it is upon the head of very thin man a guitar in a case lies across to his back a long wooden bow across to his front a single long black arrow with long black ribbon fetching he reclines upon skeletal chopped bike black is its color without any chrome resting on its side stand tilts to the left seeing him I circle the room going counterclockwise about following the wall around the door on the other side passing him as he straightens up and starts his bike begins to go backwards clockwise around the room as I entered the doorway into a hall that spirals down his black arrow passes under right ear continuing on and strikes wall turning counterclockwise I spiral on down close to the wall continuing on down he follows me down turning clockwise coming on and with every turn the long black arrow passes under my right ear ribbon fletching fluttering behind Spiraling down we go turn after turn continuing I going forward as he follows me down and with every turn the arrow comes again as I downward go my counter clockwise turns stop on a landing cannot go on he following to me after in his clockwise turns continuing backwards his arrow still flies continues on down no landing for him upon the landing I sit watching him continue by going continuing down hearing a voice say I must turn and go the other way if not to continue down if I would go up
