Because we missed the light, at the far end of the tunnel, it’s all over now, which is better I suppose, then being buried under, though it would have been well worthwhile had we somehow struggled through, never mind the darkness, or our fears, our tell-tale hearts would have found us except we forgot how to recognize each other in the dark.

A homonymless man writes shows what it's like to look up the laid he skirts when you’re lying prone(d) to the sidewalk, beer / joint / needle dangling from your hand /lips / arm.
