Just when I thought I'd reached the end
A whole new world opened wide
It called to me, Come over here
Don't you be afraid and hide
So many new places left to explore
All across this ever-expanding floor
So many stairs are left to climb
So many days and so much time
We are living inside an impossible shape
It is a world from which there's no escape
Together we went down, down, down
The Penrose steps
Just when I thought I knew my way
A sudden turn left me confused
Was I ascending or was I going down
Either way I was not very amused
So many perspectives it's hard to see
Every angle can change by degree
Clambering up an impossible flight
Center is left and left is right
The world is fluid and somewhat abstract
Fiction inextricable from fact
