Falling down into the premises of unusualness;
Solid confines to the missions hell bent;

Off with my mittens and hat
And coat and boots
On with the tea kettle
I opened the box

Back to the small room that I called my home
Getting stuck in traffic physically and mentally
So fast and alone

In car temperature soars that alike to Lebanon,
