Dream Song 131: Come touch me baby in his waking dream

 Come touch me baby in his waking dream
disordered Henry murmured.
I'll read you Hegel and that will hurt your mind I can't remember when you were unkind but I will clear that block, I'll set you on fire along with our babies to save them up the high & ruined stairs, my growing daughters.
I am insane, I think, they say & act so.
But then they let me out, and I must save them, High fires will help, at this time, in my affairs.
I am insane, I know and many of my close friends were half-sane I see the rorschach for the dead on its way Prop them up! Trade us a lesson, pour me down a sink I swear I'll love her always, like a drink Let pass from me this cup
