At this place
At this palace
Everything stayed the same
And everything always
Changed
Everything was normal
And everything was strange
Nothing made sense
Unless we made it make sense
Nothing was true
And
Nothing was ever new
Just the view
Would shift
For a few
And the rest
Would be left
Behind
In a time
In their mind
That no longer fit
The new shift
And that place
That palace
Grew and grew
But no one knew
What it was growing into
And before long
A snake was found
And a cloud
Blocked out the sun
What had been fun
Made everyone living there
Feel numb
Feel dumb
Cursed to aimlessly roam
Without ever feeling at home
Only feelings
Of being
Alone on the throne . . .
Only feelings
Of being
Alone on the throne.
CH 9.27.23
