when you moved to the next level
you did not feel the change in air pressure
but as time passed
you became aware of a feeling,
the collapse in your lungs
and the movements never to be undone.
with mirrors as the witnesses,
an observance of a lifetime of physical evidence
your eyes stare back at you
with the gaze speaking of overwhelming age
and you wonder how many levels you could climb
without the faintest perception of an inevitable time.
