It all happened fast/An absent-minded climb/Sped up the arrival/Here in record time/An improvised script/A toneless dialogue/Bracketed sarcasm/Labeled for the log/Compromising focus /On our way to Expectations/Dismissing the map and letting down our guard/Stopping by/Logging in/Name any verb preposition/Full value of the control card/Pocket buzz and dings/The 8 O'Clocking glance/Lit up face and
Neck/Hunched forward in a trance/Six minutes later/Statistically a lock/To forget what we just did/To just forget the clock/Touching Base/Checking In/Hello from the destination/And the surface feeling we're where we belongIf liked then we recommend/Agree to terms and conditions/The algorithms likely can't be wrong/We can do anything as long as it's nothing in real time/Don't look up there's nothing to see the control is down here/We've been warned and we should know/ Of the Doldrums decades ago/We just never needed the car/Waiting for defense from the swarm/Reminding time bark in dog form/Where should be and where we are now
