Bodies float past the
Large, enigmatic windows
Not knowing of the
Imagery going on inside

Art plastered to the
Walls, making one
Wonder of sanity with
Sayings of POWER OF MIND

The limo waits outside
Indicating power
Indicating prestige
Baring nothing for this place

Sitting here
On a dilapidated couch
Listening to musical inclinations
Of all worlds but this

Illumination dimmed
Matters little in
A world such as this
A world such as this

People come, people go
Those who stay
Form a pleasure trove
Of friendships hither and yon
