The Minimum - Diorama

From the inside to the outside

It’s a long way and it seems quite

Disproportionate to the dullness

Of the moment and its equipoise

Rearrange me, get me ready

Feel my heartbeat vibrating

Reverberating like the tails of

A dream that no one is remembering

Too high, too fast, too far

Reduce me to the minimum

The nothing after something

The calm after the storm

Too high, too fast, too far

Reduce me to the minimum

And put a weary smile

On the face of the earth

Lift me up, I’m disappointed

Throw me down and say you’re with me

Under the radar out of eyeshot

Never fretful, never tiresome

In a nutshell, down the Yukon

Hibernating in seclusion

And I know I’m asking too much

But I don’t think it’s impossible
