So I went to town on the underground

53 steps winding down, round and round.

I step over feet to find my seat, the ticking of a headphone beat. I.D. parade opposite me, faces frozen for eternity.

Staring down into their palms, like chickens in the battery farms.

Suddenly, straight ahead, ear piece comes out, there’s a rising head. This is my moment, this is my time, to say what’s on my mind.

“Hello, well what do you know? What are the chances of both of us being in the same place, at the same time?”

He shakes his head, his eyes filled with dread.

The man to his side gets to his feet, finds himself a different seat.

What was it that I did wrong, don’t they know just how long,

We’ve been spinning around and round, out the water, onto the ground. The blink of an eye in Gaia’s time, we’re not alone, our times align.

We pull into a station new, and all the seats, again are full,

ere we are just me and you, right here right now, the lucky few. I introduce myself to you.

“Hello, well what do you know? What are the chances of both of us being in the same place, at the same time?”

One by one they all get up. A man rolls his eyes, looks my way, says “what the fuck?” I’m all alone in my place, I’m all alone in this space.

We pull into a station new, and all the seats again are full.

A girl opposite catches my eye, breaks into a little smile.

I shake my head, I look away. All the crazies are out today.

Hello, well what do you know? What are the chances of both of us being in the same place, at the same time?

We are a speck in the dark of infinity, yet you’re here next to me, in the same place at the same time.
