The Metropolis Series: Part II, Scene II-I

PART II
Scene II-I: Spacing out 2008

Dipped in liquid time,

He stares.

There is (was?) meaning
in the loose leaves
of paperwork, and leaves
of grass growing
on these once rosy fields.
Underwater,
a bubble impenetrable
he sees the world
and the world sees him
but the world is a blur
to both himself and the world.
Retreating deeper he finds
hidden mazes and corridors
of psychedelic colors and hues
the color of the break down
He wishes to stop
but no one does
so why?
Dive headlong.
