Beneath the wave
This is the floating world. The only world there is.
This is the floating world
Of whores and artists
Where fame flickers
In and out
Of sight
For those whose work
Is desired.
_
This is the floating world
Where time is fixed
Or fluid
Depending on the
Perspective.
_
Sound and light
Colour.
_
A wave crashing down
Over the red lights
And the blue.
_
This is the floating world.
_
The only world
There is.
