A Wider View
Night roads widen,
dream paths spread their branches.
The Sandman is hobbled
and can only watch.
A tethered mind has spread
fledgling wings.
What appears to happen
behind sleepwalking eyes
is viewed from a fish-eyed drone -
a stretched panoramic overview.
Am I travelling or unrolling
a future map?
Major arteries become sea-lanes
a melting landscape
for the soul of the soul of the soul.
In a distant radio speaker
a voice recites the Koran
in perfect Yiddish.
I may have to awaken
as a more concrete curbside
if these night journeys
keep mushrooming,
enlarging these itinerate routes of reality.
