8. Then I Went For A Walk

I went to the outer limits of this city
City limits
And the lights were shining brightly all around
On the spot
Up in the sky was a dazzling black spot
Gleaming down
That sucked in and swallowed all of God’s creation
There I was

Where I went there was no window
For no one left it open to draw a breath

Where I go no one has ever gone before, yes
Please don’t
I hesitate to ask for directions since I
Don’t know
I don’t know the way back to this normal state
Of mind
Books and churches, telephone boxes and ring ring
Won’t make it

All right, went there, was no window
For no one left it open to draw a breath

Where I went there was no window
For no one left it open to draw a breath
