Amaryllis pulls the leaves out of their hair
Dreams of life as an au pair
Couldn't things be better?
They want to go to there
Suddenly a wrapping on the door
Light radiant in the distance
Is this the calling they've been waiting for?
Ah f*ck it's just the Postmates
Soggy wings and an hour late
Shit!
They kick their bag aside
And unlock the Schwinn single speed from the stairwell
They follow toward the light like
F*ck, goddamn
They hadn't peddled so hard in years
They never felt so motivated
In their entire, in their entire life
And they are not alone
A thousand neighbours gather
Towards the shining crack in the earth's surface
Light hits their eyes refracting and
Reflecting a billion times over
Imagine connection with every person on the globe
Imagine not needing to see or hear
Imagine synchronicity with every living being
Never to worry or dream again
