A Trip Through a Writer’s Subconscious

Sword in hand

In an unfamiliar place

A million blue-and-gold scarabs swarm

And still I stay

The princess will be mine—

A restaurant

Mobsters in disguise

Telling me to drink

I know there are pills inside

Are my affairs in order

I feel my heart beat fading, fading, fading—

An airport, rushing, rushing

Don’t know why

Leading me to

A Taco Bell

My friend’s pulled inside

Never to be seen again

No nachos for me—

Farther and farther down the rabbit hole

Through the light and the darkness

I twitch and snore

My dog left wondering

Will I ever wake?
