You Are In a Deep Well

You are in a deep well. The only way out is to float to the top. The rising water is a dream. One climbs over the rim. The well is a silo. The ladder is luck. He walks to the lake. The only way across is a sail boat. The wind is volition. She lands on the island. The road leads up a hill. Gravity is reality. They watch stars appear. The only way higher is imagination. Thinking is different. I look down. Something remembers. You are in a deep well.
