From the outside
looking in

this appears
to be a normal place,
but nothing is
normal about it.

Objects move,
telekinesis
and philosophers
feverously grind words
to their nubs.

How much a ticket?
how long a ride?
do not ask these questions.
Save your money
for the cinema;

you would not
like it here. Stand back
telescoping the madness
that takes place–

for there are those
who, once walking on water
never again touch dry land.
