the worlds that we live [in]
now that we are nearing the end
can we say it could be another way
at what moment can you point to
saying right there
that specific place in time
progressing toward the committed path
only to back off
at the eleventh hour
country boy in the big city
big city girl lost in green acres
hopping from one continent to the next
eyes set on orbiting like a satellite
there’s no debate
it’s all left to conjecture
but it’s the world we live in
and the worlds
that we don’t
