A Crack in the Earth

crack

Opening before us
A crack in the Earth
So deep
So deep

Headphones on
Chatting on the phone
We walk
Into the muck

Insouciance
Ambien-induced haze
Our collective lives
Under this mask

The crack widens
And deepens
We walk
Without a pause

Will you save me
Before I fall?
