In a cocoon of stagnation,
A trap, still forever.
Your still learning to ride the bike of your childhood,
Frozen fossil.

Closed mind to surprise,
Weak muscle memory and repetitious daily aches.
Archaeologists uncover the remains of the real you,
Astrologists reveal the future you never saw.

Slept through the decades cryogenic dreaming.
Introspection choking for fresh air clarity,
Echoes of mistakes rebound.
Like the last seconds at Pompei, Atlantis,
You were proudly standing your greatest height as you were frozen in stagnation
Forever still on a never ending second.
