Remember when the rat lied again
and the raven flew away?
Remember when the rat made you
guessing your own self,
your principals and stances.
When the raven flew away?

Remember when crossroads met
and building gave the clues?
Remember when the rat carrying
the smells of the deepest sewers
made you doubt?
When the raven flew away?

Remember when the rat
poisoned you with promises?
Remember when the rat soured
your deems, pushing
to the edge of the
absolute qualm?
When the raven flew away?

Remember?
