I am old and filthy

My body is rotten

The disfiguration of my physique is so advanced that my appearance

Is practically unimaginable

Although my life began in a pit

A structure was erected

Above me

Many years ago

Now I dwell in it's basement

Nobody comes to see me

Rats and insects are

My only companions

They tell me that the

Creators of the

Building under which I

Reside have sealed me in

I do not loathe them

For this act

Even though they replaced my once soft floor, with a slab of concrete

Beside myself

The basement is totally empty

It is dark and musty

It serves no purpose

And yet the entire world is down here

The whole universe
