Hallucination
The soul travels like a spinning speed train,
‘to and fro’ it moves like a pendulum bob,
‘Tick!,tick!!,tick!!!’ says the dangling watch
For time waits and respects no one,I mean no one!.
The hills speak to me in inverted form,
I try to touch them but my hands fiddle
the apexes ;Am I upside down or dreaming?
Then one of them stares at me like a dragon.
I shake and shake my head a million times,
To find myself standing face to face a mirror,
Reflection!,deflection!!,flash-backs of many years,
Spin inside my head as I swim into oblivion…
I look sternly at the strong light tearing me
apart ;the Sun is here and its staring at me,
Men in whites surround me with wry smiles,
Where am I? on earth!,In the hospital..doing what?
