Dream

I just woke up. 
I’m going to grab breakfast. 
Jumping over bones all over the floor. 
But today, the moon is falling closer to me. 

And-

Asteroids everywhere.
That pond in my yard used to not be there. 
Muddy footprints on the walls. 
I might drown under waterfalls.

I just woke up.
I just- I just-

Tuesday afternoon. 
I’ll crawl downstairs sometime soon. 
Or is it Thursday morning?
My alarm should have been a warning. 

I just promised my mom that I would-
I just promised my mom that I would-
Just wake up. 
I promise I will.
