Escape Room | A Poem by Azelzor

The music, video, Poem, and even subtitles, all had to be weaved together to manage the pacing of the story. I really enjoyed this process. I often think and speak in layered levels of meaning. I feel like I’m communicating packages of information limited by a simple language structure of soundwaves and connotation. Ideas both metaphorical and literal operating on multiple levels are then left open to your interpretation. I think this 21st century medium of Music Video Poetry improves the ability to better communicate complex emotions, ideas, and experiences.
If you enjoyed the Poem, it is because I learned from the wonderful Dr. Rob Budde, and if not, it may be because I failed to apply what he taught me.

Escape Room
By Azelzor
i had a loose grip on reality
i didn’t know it had a loose grip on me
until it let go
eventually even time fell apart and i swung back and forth
tied to each breath
i was a pendulum swinging 7 child of fractured existence
i screamed out with triumph into the deep night and tears spilled out all around me
screams of fear from my daughter
elation to confusion
i had solved this problem before
repeatedly swinging time
answering the same problem night after night as reality kept letting me go
my family growing more and more afraid as each finger released
I walked the path of Buddha with Jesus in my heart
I the Green Knight lifted Excalibur and shoved the Infinity Gauntlet down on my head
I cast spells across the multiverse and gathered Aum and spun it all on cosmic disks
I psychic surgeon shifted neural networks in my brain
and wished upon wishes upon the star of stars like a wizard mouse
I brought 40 thousand years of chaos to humanity and this is where it all began
and i was breathing fresh air handcuffed in a small plastic backseat
i couldn’t swing time anymore i couldn’t escape
i missed a quantum leap doorway somewhere in that last breath
wrists locked behind my back into the present
all the dark pasts and potential futures
dissolved
into cool night wind and the sounds of radios and RCMP lights
my family sent their love through cop car glass
i skipped like Mr Robot Moon Knight still blinking between the cartoon mouse and a scared father without enough air
into a Psych Ward escape room alone without any clues
i took the thin colored blanket of woven red and blue threads
and tried to chase them back to infinity
shifting strings of time and space weaving and flowing at different angles of magical design
if only i could align them to create
the perfect pattern i could escape
the escape room with no clear puzzles
has the most obvious answers.
