Dreams While Sleeping
Maybe I’m dancing
In the shadows
Naked man flying
Too close to the ground
I’ve got one eye
On my sleeve
And the flowers
Of a jester
I’ve got rain
In my pockets
And my mind
On James Dean
Then the lunatic fringe
The maniac’s binge
All trampling in
The garden of my mind
I’m a star-green space man
In a blue uniform
Gravity free card-board box
For my space ship
Contemplating the subtle
Blur between
The care package
And the scare tactics
Pondering the
Connection between
I.Q.s high heels
And the haiku
Naively trying to save
Souls already ascending
All my prayers are sombreros
When I piss in the dark
