Forthwithin

... ... ... ...    
   
*Beast from the east’* like an icy spell    
Heavy snow hitting the dreamscape ...    
Falling asleep with the radio on          
Peter Gabriel's *Solsbury Hill* ...    
* ... Climbing up on Solsbury Hill    
I could see the city light    
Wind was blowing, time stood still    
Eagle flew out of the night    
He was something to observe    
Came in close, I heard a voice    
Standing stretching every nerve    
Had to listen had no choice    
I did not believe the information    
(I) just had to trust imagination    
My heart going boom boom boom    
"Son," he said "Grab your things,    
I've come to take you home... *
   
   
Falling asleep with the lights off...    
Letters  coming out of the dark    
Archive kid since you were 16    
Archive kid,...   proceed forthwith      
Now you are in a  spy ring      
Archival informatics  ...  
Archival research ... ... Metadata ...
Archibald  meaning *master*      
Archibald  at once, immediately,...    
You love being codenamed *forthwithin*    
 Archibald Forthwithin    
   
Fall asleep...    
Fall asleep forthwith...      
You will succeed as a substitute mole  
Please, don't make a mountain out of a mole hill ...
