Melodrama

One night I jumped from a building similar to the Sears Tower
My back against the air of unmoved molecules that migrate inside my spine
Falling
Sometimes I'm able to breathe underwater through my nostrils as aquatic life of 
the oceans 
Or so I fly in fain this firmament 
With wings of freedom plunged at my request
On dark days I'm invincible of being harmed by violence
Though fear is like a fresh apple
Always tempting to be afraid
Fear is a fragment of my imagination
And chimeras surround me with a chill
And children cheer this creature of a cattle
And cheetahs chase my carnality up the chestnut
My eyelids fall like curtains of a play
Shall I seize the day
Sleeping
Sounds of seconds pass through minutes slept
Snoring
Sentimental thoughts of the past underline my screenplay
Memories
I plan with vagueness, inventing visions of the imagination in the realm of fancy
Dreaming
