#1544 - back in the day

back in the day

 

they’d look for an edge

walk, paddle off, hold up a sheet

 

many would fall off never finding

 

the Earth grew flatter the further one went

 

there was a lot of running away

 

no one would explain the horizon

how it travelled with us we went

kept pace

as if we were pushing it

 

the sun was new every day by the way

that must have taken some magic

 

imagine coming to that yawning chasm

peering over into the void, the abyss

having a good captain cook

 

thinking, as one would, dark thoughts

 

dropping a coin in for good measure

wishing a world away

 

and some went back to tell the tale

monsters with three heads

jabberwock soup

the upside down

the inside out

city of gold

fish for a king

 

it was whatever you could dream

 

these days

and every head still spinning

 

we push the world to the edge

over

and over

and over again

 

that’s what we do every day
