Captain and Captive

Tuning out the office buzz
We step into our headphones
Where lush beats shuffle and thud
Echoing from the bottom of a well
Time dilates in each Narnia of noise
We are all aware eyes around us
Pecking at their own high-def problem
Each of us will slay a dragon
Together and alone
Both captain and captive

-T. Weeks
