Hilton Blues





"Level elven" announces 
A disembodied voice 
In the carriage elevator
 As the doors slowly open on
The long windowless corridor 
Carpeted wall to wall
By a checked grey carpet 
Which receives my on and off shadow
Projected from the low ceiling spotlights
In a psychedelic kaleidoscopic tempo 
Reverberating my sonorous footsteps 
Into an insane incarcerated inhuman world
Leading to a false sense of elegant luxury
Of grey, black and white entombment 
Ultimately leading to death's door.

  1. Be not proud
    Of these numbers
    They'll only deepen
    Your slumber
    These voices
    Are only sombre
    The hall
    Not so amber
    But Your footsteps
    Are the wonder
    Cause when
    They steal
    The thunder
    These doors
    Will buckle
    Asunder--

    1. The longer one advances
      The stronger the feeling
      Of live entombment gets
      One's hurried steps
      Are the only reflect
      Of one's internal panic,
      For only one way out exists.
