Waking Dream

Had a dream the other day Couldn't get it out of my brain Thought streams are so constrained Can't even count the refrains And as I wander through the city Couldn't see a thing at all Not the fat bodega Kitty Or those nice people from down the hall And as I'm standing on the subway Eyes glazing over melting words Knees adjusting to the cars sway Washing over a mind perturbed And it fades away Not meant to see Could never be Twisted fantasy And as I trudge along the hudson Taking in the skyline in the cruise ships wake Search inside and just find nothing These fae ridden days are too much to take And as I wander through the city Everything just feels so far away The lengths of time can be so flitty What is it the frizz wants to convey Had a dream the other day Couldn't get it out of my brain Thought streams are so constrained Can't even count the refrains Had a dream the other night And now the world is bathed in fright Woke up searching for starlight Humanity crushing that plight I doubt the stories are airtight Can't help but wonder despite Won't ever prove the theories right Still gotta deal with all these wights And all the moments I could cite Would come out as nothing more than slights Can't think of anything that's not trite And all the hours are finite A half blurred face Composite Place An unslapped bass And lines retraced A hope debased Mental subspace Please don't erase That little touch of grace
