Follow the Leader

Echo on stone

Bare as bone.

Resplendant Monarch

On crystal throne.

Things move slow;

I wonder why.

Don't change them though.

No will to try.

I do my part

And tow the line;

Heart in traction,

Eyes shut wide

Til suddenly I realise

My feet've strayed onto

A decline

Following after

One who is blind.
