Poem
Am I dreaming or have I dreamt myself awake I can’t seem to discern between real and fake What’s right What’s wrong which direction should I take Am I reasonably responsible for the many mistakes I might make Backward bouncy walking Crazy ticketed talking Following the run in a pretty girls stocking Unafraid of anything Willing to do what’s shocking Sarcastically mocking Listening to head voices My brain has lost it’s sane my body’s rocking My mind skipping from Idea to Idea You weren’t there a second ago go but now I see you Wait a second I can see right through you Black isn’t white Yellow is now blue Bending over To take a boulder out of my shoe They were old yesterday and now they’re new But instead of one pair I’m wearing out two The room is shaking Momma’s in the kitchen Half baked Pieces of everything Tender flaked The tiles under my feet vibrate to the beat Hey momma “Trick or Treat? Give me something good to eat” Suddenly I’m covered by a sheet on a cold stainless table being processed like meat sliding on a rail Door closed Fire burning someone turning up the heat Bell ringing, ringing, ringing WAKE UP, Wake up Rick If only I could That would be a cool trick! I feel like I’m being beat with a stick Shake, shake, shake “wake up Rick its Eight, you’re going to be late.” Get out of bed you fool. It’s time for school.” Eyes open, “I‘m up, I’m up!” But wait You can’t hear me talk Because I’m an unwound broken old clock no longer able to tick or tock I only have hands so I can’t even walk. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Things that make me go hmm. The second hand of clock or watch is actually the third hand. ;0)
