...ahem

WE BUILT THIS CITY
WHILE LISTENING TO
ROCK AND ROLL,
IN OUR HEADPHONES.
WE ALL LISTENED
TO THE SAME SONG THOUGH.
IT WAS AWESOME.
IN A SENSE, WE BUILT
THIS CITY WITH A BEAT,
A COMMON BEAT;
BEATING AWAY AT OUR
SENSITIVE EAR TISSUE,
SO THAT ONE DAY WE WILL
WAKE AND REMEMBER THAT
WE BUILT THIS CITY ON
A BEAT,
A SPECIFIC BEAT;
BUT WE NO LONGER
REMEMBER WHAT THAT
BEAT IS.

WE ARE DEADENED.

IT BEAT AWAY AS

WE BUILT AWAY.
AND NEITHER
THIS BEAT OR THIS
CITY REMAIN.
WHAT NOW?
WELL, WE SEE
WHAT WE SEE.

E TRINE.
