Men in suits

In skyscrapers

 

Mice in fields

 

Skyscrapers In fields

Mice in suits

In skyscrapers

 

Fields of skyscrapers

Full of men in suits

 

But now the skyscrapers

Are in suits in fields of mice

 

The curtains are pulled back

The director is showing us

A vast mountain range

Snow capped, resplendent

 

A girl in a bright yellow t-shirt

Opens her mouth

Shouting out

 

Filled up with the light rain

That comes from inside
