Millions of living fossils fill space
vegetating stagnating everywhere
Dark sunken eyes, shoulders drooping
like a shapeless rag doll,
Eating drinking walking going
towards nowhere.
Scrimpy minds frugal thoughts
lives put into disordered slots
No big bang to shake them into
doubting there's sure something beyond
sleeping dozing nondreaming
about nothing.
Tempted once they tore at the web
cadge a promise and make it big
Wear the crown on the head
like the fecund others but dissipated
Now full of empty days empty thoughts
stumble on.
Limbs drifting, steps faltering with
stoned minds hazy dried up dreams
Fumbling, groping, falling
bumbling crawling descending
towards nowhere:
Marooned all.
Marooned all.
