An endless square staircase
The four sided infinite
Gauntlet of corners
Again and again
A corner revealed
As the last disappears
The cycle repeats
As the great demise nears
A darkness looms over
The progress so futile
Rising through an abyss
That is hopelessly brutal
No promise of sky
And there’s no reason why
An impossible task
Meets the willpower to try
