We found a place to stay in a long corridor like room
exposed on all sides by windows that took up the entire space of the walls
The bed was not big enough
it had shrunk and shrunk
downstairs there were groups of people with badges and missions
who were getting their instructions from somewhere else
look at their hands mixing and repairing busy busy busy
oh look at their mouths constantly talking and chewing
those of you still motionless observing
Like furniture with monitoring cameras
You see the riot of action and noise
and within the passive head applaud
can I have you quiet ones upstairs please
line up along this second floor, stand in silence
While the others busily try to stretch this bed
so we will have something to sleep on tonight
