in the locked up secret furthest room behind all other rooms
amid the cave of my skull in silent solitude
hovers motionless & cold a small white embryo
& the blackness surrounds it like a 3-dimensional halo
i pity the poor janitor
the self-appointed manager
who deafened dazzled screaming slurring goes astray
in all the flickering flashing whirring crashing buzzing other rooms
he's searching for control
he's searching for i don't know what he's searching for
but every now & then
with the evening stranding
he unlocks the secret furthest room, gets in
& sits down in front of the embryo to see if it may move
but the embryo don't move
they're waiting for i don't know what they're waiting for
