[voice: Capnrockr — confused funk swagger] I stepped in the storage room, door slid wide, Had a mission in my pocket… but it slipped mid‑stride. Now I’m standin’ in the glow of the flicker‑light hum, Feelin’ like my brain’s a loading bar stuck at 7‑point‑some. “Alright brain, load the file… any minute now.” [beat: soft shuffle funk] Got that ghost‑of‑an‑idea floatin’ over my head, Like a shadow on the wall with the source long dead. My body made it here, but my mind’s still back there, Tying its shoes in the hallway, unaware. “C’mon memory, don’t leave me hangin’ in the doorway.” [SFX: tiny static pop] Thought evaporated mid‑air like steam, I swear I carried it in — now it’s only a dream. Crossed some invisible tripwire in the doorframe, And my whole mission objective just forgot its own name. “Mission… mission… mission… nope, still buffering.” [voice: EF — calm robotic narrator] “Capn, your internal OS appears to have soft‑rebooted.” Yeah, thanks EF, I noticed — my purpose got muted. All I hear is shhhhhhhh like a TV with no channel, And I’m standin’ here holdin’… absolutely nothin’ to handle. “Okay brain, boot up — I know you packed something.” [beat: skeleton shuffle] Skeleton in the corner starts doin’ his dance, Like he’s waitin’ for my brain to give the next command. But the tab I needed crashed without leavin’ a trace, So I’m just vibin’ in the room with a blank look on my face. “I swear I had a reason… skeleton, you seen it.” [Capn — shrugging groove] Teleportation lag — I arrived too fast, My intention’s still travelin’, runnin’ late as the last. So I lean on a crate, let the moment drift through, Thinkin’ “Whatever I came for… it’ll come find me too.” “Alright thought, stop hiding — I know you’re in this room somewhere.” [EF — monotone reassurance] “Capn, your thought will return shortly. Please remain funky.” Yeah, that’s the plan, EF — confusion never sunk me. [beat: rising funk loop] So I dance with the skeleton, wait for the spark, In a storage room mystery, hummin’ in the dark. If I forgot why I’m here, that’s fine — that’s the tune, Just another day of bein’ Capn in the storage room.
