I was a vapid, staring waste
And to nobody in particular, I said:
"This is what I should be doing."
"Making sounds like that, things like that;
creating a steady ground to land on."
"Instead of me, I could've been another."
"A name of earned remembrance."
"This isn't where I am, why I am...
But it's how I should have wound up."
"Later, or maybe...
All along until right now."
Then I found the world again,
And continued working.
