- And here I thought you'd never notice me.
- You know, I awoke one day in a dark
- And damp loneliness of a sepulcher,
- But why, I do not know or understand.
- My body, bones, and blood were tied, restrained,
- And sealed beneath green and agèd bandage.
- So strange a sense within my heart, a dark
- And empty shell that beating pulse it lacked.
- What have I to give the world but burden,
- But sadness, sorrow, grief, and tears? A pox
- Of cursèd touch that steals and weakens life,
- Where nothing beside remains but despair.
- I dragged my heavy, burdened body out
- Laying witness to the vast stretches of
- Sand. A hollow wind whimpered and whined where,
- In a sea of sand, lay sunken relics,
- Visage to a slain civilization.
- I emerged from a giant pyramid
- But in this barren and deserted place
- No one could claim it as their home or own,
- Like I, who knows no one and no one knows.
- I walked many miles under a golden
- Sun, glaring and scorching the shifting sand
- That slowly summoned sandstorms against me.
- But O was I tenacious, strong, and tough,
- I endured the buffeting, and from it
- I can draw a vile, violent tantrum.
- But now that I have found this place of warmth
- I have found many people to befriend.
- Come play with me and we'll have lots of fun.
- I know well the pain and sorrow you feel,
- Let me give you a hug to wash away
- The heavy sense of dread, sorrow, and fear.
- And I will toss my bandages to you,
- And leap to your side to comfort the pain.
- Let me wrap you in my gauze, that the hurt
- May fade permanently and ne'er return.
- We are entangled in the same bandage,
- So please stay still a while and play with me,
- Don't you want to let loose and break this hex?
- To undo the curse of the sad mummy?
- So come now, and let's be friends forever.
