Waiting for that sweet moment
when I break the surface and gasp
a lungful of clean air
when words mean what I want them to mean
...
Once I was a man like you
strong in the heart and mind
Now my spectre drifts the sands of Egypt these sixteen
centuries
across the tombs of Pharaohs
...
I am vanquished by pressure unseen
my lungs are rasped by air unclean
and my eyes are bagged
by images and magazines obscene
...
I feel translucent
a man of marble skin
as if dreaming my motions
every step a tread in water
...
