A Subdued Awakening

On dreaming.

A Subdued Awakening

We jump over the moon

Before sitting in the shed

Speaking of our past

And the lives we have led

*

We swing across the vines

After leaving our home

Speaking of our future

And suddenly we're in Rome

*

The way it jumps around

Seems quite peculiar

Like the day we left school

And walked to the jeweler

*

That day surely went quick

A blur across the photo

Running to the courthouse

And flew off to Kyoto

*

It's almost as if our life

Came out of a dream

With all the obscenities

And all of our schemes

*

But soon I awaken

To see it isn't my life

My drool splatters the pillow

And I have no wife

*

I went to three countries

All in my sleep

But hope to find the day

Those dreams are to keep
