My classmates pranked and fought at school I cringed, alone, misunderstood They formed their fast friendships until Tumbling out into adulthood In working world, more of the same My hopes worn down with dull routine Subject to boss who earned disdain Himself subject to same regime Then out from shuddering subway Emerged Rasputin eyes He clasped my hand, and lifted me Through panoramic skies The scene replays: telephoto Then slow-approaching swoop The flick of grainy celluloid A reel in endless loop The amber cast is seeping back The span of years collapse Though touched, he breathed sincerity Amassed a lost and lonely group He had the gift of prophesy Inspired a nihilistic hope He called on me to purify His vision ceremonial At last I could unfurl and fly Applying skills conceptual My former boss, now neophyte My canticle intoned Abased himself in new-made rite Surrendered all he owned The scene replays: telephoto Then slow-approaching swoop The flick of grainy celluloid A reel in endless loop The amber cast is seeping back The span of years collapse Brother Dvi was mesmerized With our success, and yet recoiled With each ambition realized Approached e'er closer to the void He clenched his brow, dug deeper still As though to bore through physical Survive unscathed, by force of will Decreed our final ritual Alone immune to Brother's charm I slipped the poison fate To face the group, in torment squirm Wise to the hoax too late The scene replays: telephoto, Then slow-approaching swoop The flick of grainy celluloid A reel in endless loop The amber cast is seeping back The span of years collapse Brother Dvi, so brief your spark That lit my rise to influence I played my part, then you went dark Left me to bear the consequence
