Is Time Continuous Through Existence and Non Existence ( a Case Study)

I’m asleep, therefore nothing exists. Just my mind and a hangover from last night being pissed Existence is only evident from the point I open my eyes And the pain I feel from the knife in the back and the remembrance of my lies. Nevertheless, from the point I am aware on my surroundings Time starts and existence is hand in hand and evident from my wife’s snore soundings The room is hear from what my mind allows me to apprehend But existence so far is limited to the room and does not transcend I walk to the door and pause for a while A thought crosses my mind and makes me smile May be existence is what I want it to be So I thought of a mansion full of beautiful women this is what I wanted to see Open the bedroom door and, DAM! same old house and what is more I can still hear the old bag snoring behind the door Uh! My mind is familiar with this picture and I cannot change Or it would cause a rift in the time continuum so existence we cannot rearrange I get ready for work and off I drive After a stiff coffee I feel alive Yes! Yes! Now non existence comes in to play House and the wife don’t exist but a familiar travel path to work in a new day. So I get to work and everything I left behind does not exist But something makes me clench my fist The nonexistent wife is calling me on the phone This is the rift in time reminding me that there is a wife and a home
