Stampeding thoughts

running

coursing the canyons

of my mind.

Visuals seen.

Objects come and go

like Alice falling

down a rabbit hole.

Lotto tickets

spewing out

of a machine.

At the touch of

a large red button

the lotto tickets drop

one after the other

after the other.

Numbers are displayed.

Calculations are shown.

What do the numbers

represent

Money?

Lotto tickets?

Winnings?

Yet, No monetary

transactions

are made.

Seeing without glasses,

Hearing isn't a problem.

Stuck in

Lottoland!

Half asleep

half awake

nature calls.

Leaving the comfort

of a cool soft bed,

While Lottoland

lingers.

Step into

the shower

the dream visuals

dissipates.

Cascading cold water,

awakens the

conscience.
