Where Am I
WHERE AM I?
Life,
You welcome all with a smile,
But your wall you cast about us
Like a net for the fingerlings,
Wroughted to tame
Slavers for your farmland.
I had a dream in my sleep,
In that dream in my sleep
I walked through your clouded maze
Searching for my gone-by years
In that dream in my sleep
You came to me a mammoth cistern
Eating all dreams in that sleep,
And there you eat me too,
In that dream in my sleep.
It was but a scary nightmare,
In that dream in my sleep,
And when dawn came,
In my fumbling rouse,
That I perceived I was never there
Where I was before that sleep
That begets that dream,
And I to life turned and asked,
Where am I? Now that the sleep
That beget that dream, is all but gone?
