Alternative Worlds
Slip into another place..........
I get up and drink coffee
Eat toast
Sat at my place on the sofa.
The usual.
*
I talk about the things
That must be done,
Organising
Everyone.
*
It seems like I'm not here
I'm just the empty shell
Of my real self
My real self is off on adventures
*
My real self is swimming with dolphins,
Dodging sharks in crystal blue water
My real self is flying like an eagle
Over braes, lochs and bens.
*
My real self is playing ball
With golden ponies
And ice skating; twirling
And whirling through vapourous coldness.
*
My soul flies free,
But my body is here
On the sofa
With the dogs.
