I was trying
In my mind
To come to a conclusion
On just how humanity can
Lower their heads and trudge
On
Despite all the problems we face,
.
But all I could grasp was a vision —
Like a darkening of a day
Even amidst sunlight
And worlds coming and going but
Constantly shifting,
Store fronts changing their names,
Dust and spiders crawling up
The sides, the walls,
.
And I wondered,
Have I just seen inside the mind
Of man.
