The world can wait

I could not endure the world
So
I had it come to me.
Hour upon hour I sank into nether
Observing what was on the screen
Lives that I have never known
And will never know again
Flashed across my consciousness
Like thunder
Like light
Like primordial blackness personified.
I came up for air once or twice
But sank deep once again into the shadowy fathoms.
The tentacles of permanence, writhing through my body, my mind
They offered succor, sanctuary.
I'd never have to endure again.
As I considered,
My eyes opened
And I came into the world
