You are Descending in an Elevator

It goes on for days, forever, like the scene in Top Gun where Kelly McGillis and Tom Cruise descend endlessly in an elevator, having a detailed conversation and flirting, in a building that is only two stories and about forty feet tall. Slowly, you come to the realization that the music you are listening to with only a tenth of your brain is a muzak version of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. "It can't be," you think. But it is. Moss takes over the palace eventually. Everywhere you sat, moss sits. Moss lines the skull of your dog and the teapot you used. Moss is the new telephone directory. Ra Ra Ooh La La.
