It is down here in a dark place
Behind the closed door
There is movement
Protoplasm
Bursting open like a spore
The stair is twisting like an Escher
Up and back and through
All these pictures collecting dust
Hence and hitherto
It is the longest dream
And it will never end
It is the longest dream
A lost world of pretend
There is laughter and there is rage
And there is illness all around
It’s in this building
It’s on these streets
It’s all over this seasick town
I see fat faces, I hear odd voices
They bubble up through the cracks
I look for clues
I parse the logic
I study the syntax
There is weeping
In cathedrals
There are virgins sacrificed
All these rituals
They come to naught
In the name of Jesus Christ
