Poem 20 from my chapbook "As Glamorous as a Kidney"
The dream is flying out to Florida
At any time and hitting Miami.
Rolling up to a club with a ball
Of cash.
Drinks, drinks, drinks,
Music, music, music,
Women, women, women;
Then back to the hotel.
{
The dream is going anywhere at
Anytime because I’d like to see.
I’ll find whatever it brings
Along the way.
{
The dream is a nice home with a
Billiard table in it. As well as
A room to work in.
{
The dream….
{
Dreams….
{
It’s all in your head and how
Long you can stay motivated.
{
It’s all about effort and how
Many times you can fall down
To get back up.
{
It’s all about meaning it.
Fighting discouragement.
Re-discovering the road towards
Your desire.
{
The dream….
{
I have too many.
Their all great self-sustaining
Ideas while occupying my
Current job and obligations.
Except their empty until I put
In work towards them.
{
Florida is too expensive.
Anywhere at any time boils
Down to plans.
A home of my own is far
From here.
{
The dreams I envision while
Awake take me further than
This garage.
{
The work I am doing is
An extremely dirty job.
{
Literature.
Literally.
