It's a poem that I tried that starts out with one syllable in a line, then two, then three, and so on. (There are a few lines where this doesn't match up; I'm sorry, I did my best and even I'm picky about that.) 


One

Sit down

And watch while

Kids shriek, tease, fight

The skies become light

Ice glimmers on the pane

Sunrise shimmers on the plain

People glow blood orange and rose

And nobody, nobody, nobody

Nobody knows where they're going, no, 

Nobody knows where they're headed at all, 

Nobody knows where they're going, no

We sit in seats and blindly trust

That even though there's a route 

And stop that's different for 

Each of us, we'll get 

Where we want to 

Go eventually

But we'll see

We'll see

Maybe

Soon
