Ravenous whirlpools in the gutter
Iron teeth lurking 'neath the surface
Sweet pitch black December dystopia
Miserably wet with what should've been snowfall
Currently out of office
Closed until further notice
Vacant storefronts promise no warmth
Everything must go, and so everyone went
But I remained
Aimlessly I wander
Neurochemically inert
Lured into this tomb of a city
Paving stones like scorched earth
Glancing up, envisioning the blinding light of day
Incandescent landscapes burning through the canopy
A parenthesis in paragraphs of grey
I must escape
Devolved instincts of hibernation
Make their presence known up north
Anxiously we seek sedation
Ushering the days forth
And to think we traded sunlit plains for this
I shake my head and journey on into the nothingness
And as ashen spires encapsulate my world
I reminisce
Iron teeth lurking 'neath the surface
Sweet pitch black December dystopia
Miserably wet with what should've been snowfall
Currently out of office
Closed until further notice
Vacant storefronts promise no warmth
Everything must go, and so everyone went
But I remained
Aimlessly I wander
Neurochemically inert
Lured into this tomb of a city
Paving stones like scorched earth
Glancing up, envisioning the blinding light of day
Incandescent landscapes burning through the canopy
A parenthesis in paragraphs of grey
I must escape
Devolved instincts of hibernation
Make their presence known up north
Anxiously we seek sedation
Ushering the days forth
And to think we traded sunlit plains for this
I shake my head and journey on into the nothingness
And as ashen spires encapsulate my world
I reminisce
