Paternoster Fugue

Continuously moving conveyance
On the eighteenth floor
By the time the platform comes
To this floor
My essay will be done

Overtravel in the pit and the loft
I am hungry, I haven't eaten all day
Am I supposed to be down here?
No, I should be up there.
Ah well, I'll say it got stuck
And I'll be forgiven

Deposit me not on the wrong floor!
It is wrong to be late for your lecture.
Deliver me please to the right floor.
You who are on this floor,

And that floor,
And that floor,
All at the same time,
Continously moving conveyance,

Amen.
