If I dreamed, every night, that
you were real, then weren't you?
And no more of this wild
search, in a place where
no one dreams of you.
I forget that nobody knows,
nobody sees, the luminescent
colors that build beneath me.
I locked myself into the wall;
I won't move anymore.
I'm in this life for the two seconds left
of beauty, that will come
so fast and sudden that
I can't see them until the next
second when they have
slipped loose from my fingers.
He said I would be a buddhist
in bad times, and I dare him,
"Show me other times."
It never lets up, we are always
shaking and waiting for
the chemicals from within
and without that will convince us
that something is still here
for us. That there is some reason to
keep our skin wrapped around us
like a thin blanket, and not rip it off,
and not use it to pull out the
last of ourselves. That there is some
reason not to fly out into the sky,
or explode into dreams.
I forget that nobody knows,
nobody sees, the luminescent
colors that build beneath me.
If I dreamed, every night, that
you were real, then weren't you?
And no more of this wild
search, in a place where
no one dreams of you.

between sanity and insanity? You
think in a locked room there's
sanity and insanity? Anyways,
I don't know if there are any
children anymore. Maybe they
went out of fashion."
