Free Cage

It’s a free cage, we can go anywhere we want to in it
Moonlight reflects off these bars and imposes itself in our eyes
What would inspire only blinds – it’s too painful to see:
Man is a machine – unwavering, repetitive
We try too hard to see what we work for
We work too hard to see:
Cycles are predictable, specific things break them, unattainable things…

Under the florescent lights, which stifle out the moon
Here we avoid such contemplation
Here we live – day to day, week to week, month to month
Here we provoke the intertwining web of repetition
Here we are
