Layers2

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 09, 2023 

Layers.
Epochs.
Layers
of time.
Existence.
Sedimentary.
One 
on top
of the
next.
Building,
evolving.
Inhabited 
layers.
Cut off.
One from
the other.
Striations
of time.
Unique.
Locked in.
Inhabitants
confined.
Behave
as such.
Layer
after
layer.
Trapped
within.
Exist 
as is.
Behave
as is.
Layer
defined.
Trapped 
in time
and 
space.
