-there I was
back in an office
staring at a dark wall
sipping hot tea
made from one of those
old robot machines;
when all of a sudden
I decided to go for a wander
so I walked down
the carpeted corridor,
that corridor-
I'd walked down it before
and now that I think of it
I'd stared at that same screen
it still gleams an unearthly gleam
I didn't last long then
I think I'll walk again
at some point
I'm not getting any closer
to being or being somewhere
where I feel I should be.
Ah hell, what am I to do?
why do I feel so far-removed
from everything and everyone
I once (thought I) knew?
