Swimming through open air as though the sunrise leads home

Every breeze whips waterfalls, cascading atop life’s muck

The filthier reigns what’s accepted as rivers by modern man

Waking minds straddle remotes carelssly

Slow motion, frame by frame, smell-o-vision

To the luckiest minority, tear’s scent lingers immortal

Fish corpses litter the quagmire, nameless

Just eyes who see naught, parading to parts unknown

They can’t hurt us, no matter who they are, or who we’ll be

Was someone else just here?

A whisper, a tap, foot-falls in the afternoon nap

Stray winds in stuffy rooms

Duality occupies all; disguised, lone souls in corners

Today fades tomorrow with new masks to don

Finger-tested torches sting

Was I just here?

How are things in the clean world, if such a place exists beyond myth?
