Comfortably Numb

            Knock! Knock! Knock!

            Head swimming, textures changing...

            Are you feelin’ okay?

            You’re falling backwards

            Sitting still, on the couch

            Falling

            Falling until you sink

            Between the lines of reality

            and faith.

            


            Your familiar surroundings become vague

            The power is on but the lights fade

            The threshold holds still but grows further

            and further

            away. It stretches

            to great heights, expands

            the dimensions of the room.

            Your mind, your body

            shrinks and you hear voices.

            Calamity, vehicular accidents—meat-

machines.



The Gods ignored us for a millennia; they

nod. Vulpine 

smiles, all.

           Time for the main course.
