Like An Egyptian

I once walked -- just like an Egyptian
in mimicking a Bangles song,
and reenacted an inscription.
The mummies woke, and came along.
The dead and buried, two dimensions,
perspective lacking in those days,
they mummified, with good intentions,
and hid their treasures in a maze.
Tutankhamun or Tutankhaten
seem hardly relevant, and yet,
the pyramids above Manhattan
are built so that we won't forget.
