buildings always buildings and I’m lost in them
. . . in a skyscraper with fast moving elevators that don’t stop that go up to the roof and beyond the roof and I’m alone in there in this small all-glass skyscraper elevator and I can’t get out . . .
. . in this Victorian mansion with hidden rooms and musty-smelling crawlspaces and pantries I’m in the attic climbing in and out windows being chased by something dark and heavy and hairy through the attic out onto the roof back into the attic again and again . . .
. . in a sprawling dusty farmhouse long endless crooked hallways rusty smell of damp grain . . .
. . . in a giant college classroom building wide stairways alcoves echoing alcoves windows tiny windows that peer out over an empty quad and I can’t find my classroom it’s exam time and I’m late and I haven’t been to this classroom in months I don’t know why I think I’ve simply forgotten this class and I’m searching up and down the wide stairways alone in the alcoves peering out the empty windows I can’t find my classroom . . .
in my dreams I’m always in buildings lost in buildings in my dreams I’m lost in buildings
