we have built this tower
so many times
it has been knocked to the ground
buried under the rubble
we dust ourselves off
and pick up the pieces
and begin to rebuild
the tower is very high
this time of the year
with reinforcements
but we all know this story
and the capstone of the pyramid is almost ready to be put in place
will we get there this time
or will it be knocked to the ground again
planets being shot out of the sun
on a spiral path that is too large for us to see
one planet turns into the next
and we jump ship
or are picked up
exactly on schedule
this plan
was selected by us
and the our ideas of the future are useless now
because the tape is just being rewound
the pencil is in the spool
and what we think is a march forward
is really
just a vacuum pulling us backwards
into the past
which is the future
do you remember?
what you see is a movie
being watched by another movie
we wrote this a long time ago
the credits will roll soon
right up into your mouth
and into the center of your brain
as you lay on the ground
and get ready for take off
Already afloat. Shine
