Comet - 2014

​Re-calibrate your trajectory.
…
Terra is the land I have walked,
And the land I will always walk.
Here I stand in a city of extremes,
Beside a dirty vein of commerce,
And I watch the scum flow by.
Nothing more down-to-earth
Than this city of revelry and coin.
All ‘round the cocaine-fountains,
Cultures clash, collide and mingle,
While tyres screech on wet asphalt.
This sodden land is my future.
There may be wonders here,
But I long for something more,
Sights unseen and tales untold.
The silver screen entices me,
But the gates to terra incognita
Remain shut by both physics and time.
As you crash into the riverbank
I know that this is the closest
I will ever get to those other worlds.
