Analysis of bottom
azdi404 1967 (california)
I watch myself from the high tower
of your bottom deep pit
where darkness breathes overhead ...
surrounded with nowhere to fall,
conscious so clear,
superiority so thin of ancient wisdom,
sacrificing what I know,
drifting through stale air in a canal weary
to find myself passing landscapes of graffiti
where spirits die without a grave to call my own...
