STILL

I see the Train upon the ceiling
The room is damp
The air, oscillatory

These are the times I have spent beneath the dripping vault.
Many hours, many days.
I notice the shape of the room, an arrangement of masses.

A paid appearance by someone famous.
This is always the way:
We must forfeit to meet the old drugs.

A set of doors opens, another set closes, they are without color, make no sound.
There is an appearance of time passing.
Smoke can not remain suspended forever, air can not sit long without moving.

I hear Music! It must progress towards it's inevitable conclusion
If I create the appearance of being still, this is only an illusion.
Eternally I am moving, continuously expanding.

Let us remove the shroud, turn on lights in dark rooms,
open doors and release the musty air trapped within.
We must cease our mystery, soon.

It is time to issue commands: Go, Come, Remain!
We learn the true meaning for our presence, it must be to search.
For this reason we must continue to avoid the door labeled "OUT".

If we should hear a noise at the end of a long corridor,
let us go that way, perhaps we will encounter a flash of light.
A small light for such a large room.

Seeming only to make the dampness thicker
and exposing the air for what it really is:
A form of radiation made up of skin.

It is impossible to become excited,
it is undesirable to move.
Let us be still.
