Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

A Trip I Took Once Upon a Dream

Who moved the room? What colors are these?
Where are you going? Chuckle. Chuckle. Who cares?
Gas in the dentist office is not half as great as.
Who are you? Oh. Okay. Sure. 
You can crash over there next to the others.

Oh, that is so pretty! Oh, my Gawd! What IS that?
Wow! Keeping myself here always. 
Real life can just....
What is going on?
Hey! I have missed you so much! Hey, it's my soul!
My SOUL is here! What are these colors? 
I am so damned hungry. Maybe one more brownie.

I will dance with you. No. I will fly with you.
I do not even need you. I need no one!
I am flying now.
I can fly as high as I want.
Call me Peter Pan.
Just let me go.
Let me be.
Who said that? What are you the CIA?
What colors are these? These are NEW colors!
Wow!

Byron Kaya May 14, 2019 at 12:42 AM Ooh, I think I need your dentist. Enjoyed it! Caren Krutsinger May 14, 2019 at 11:40 AM I have fired him. You can have him now.

Charles Messina May 13, 2019 at 9:15 PM It's been a long time since I had the gas in a dentist office, but every once in a while I do dispense some...lol Love this, Caren. :) Caren Krutsinger May 14, 2019 at 12:33 AM Thank you. I remember once yelling "I missed you so much!" and realized I was speaking to my soul, under gas.

Connie Marcum Wong May 13, 2019 at 8:51 PM I travel with you Caren, and won't see the dentist unless they have the gas available. A colorful trip which garnered you a poem! Splendid! : ) xxoo Caren Krutsinger May 14, 2019 at 12:33 AM Thank you Connie. And do you have the name of this dentist? So many will not issue the gas any more. I am willing to travel.

Gershon Wolf May 13, 2019 at 2:06 PM Shades of the '60's... Inna gadda vita, baby! What a gas! :) gw Caren Krutsinger May 14, 2019 at 12:36 AM I LOVED the 60's. LOVED them!

Kurt Ravidas May 13, 2019 at 1:05 PM I'm affraid, they'll never let you go, Caren. P.S.: When I used to write smth of this kind in Russian, they ironically asked me for my drugdealer's address. Hoping, I left them behind) Caren Krutsinger May 13, 2019 at 1:45 PM I will easily shake them as this was fiction based on how much I love nitrate at the dentist office.
