Mind Blower - Journal Ziii

MIND BLOWER –
JOURNAL XIII

Dreams can be weird
     crazy. True.
But a totally
senseless dream can
disorient you,
Befuddle your first
waking minutes.
Like, this wildness
has lasted so long
into sleep
As to literally
infect the waking
awareness.
One must now
examine, carefully,
one’s daily
      routine to
regain sanity. 

Brushing teeth – you
are an artist
painter 
      cleaning The
Waling Wall.
Putting on your
clothes – you
imagine you’re 
      laying on
skin.
You step into the
kitchen gingerly –
you might 
      be atop a high
precipice.
Fortunately the
first cup of coffee
brings you 
      back – it
looks muddy, but
tastes o.k.

In the last few I
determine to pinch
myself
      awake.
Sanity is very dear.
Alzheimer’s could be
near.
