Atlas’s Substitute

Breathe a sigh of relief

I see Atlas in the distance

You can straighten out your spine

And feel your lungs expand

Wipe the sweat from your brow

Wash your face

Change your clothes

You can live

You can breathe

You can feel

You can sleep

You could eat if you wanted

You could leave the world

Or settle down and rest

Go start a family

Atlas is back

It’s on his back

So breathe a sigh of relief

Atlas will take up the position

The world is not made for humanoids

To hold and support

You have your world and he has ours

So love your tiny slice of reality

Keep it close in your hand

In the palm of your hand

Little lady, I love you

Now go live your life

Atlas has his that you borrowed

Now you have his that he stole
