Time Slip

there’s a temporal aberration happening in my head or it could be I am dreaming or maybe I am dead there’s a small purple t rex who is wearing a bowler hat while on his massive back legs he’s sporting yellow spats he’s dancing a foxtrot summoning me with a wave to join him in his frolic but I just aren’t that brave there’s an orchestra playing composed of flying fish under a banner stating that we play anything you wish the dance floor is crowded I’ve just seen an antelope with a sign on his back all ye abandon hope I am swimming in confusion next to a cephalopod all in all this situation is somewhat rather odd but I think I’ll just enjoy it I may wake up by and by or maybe this is just a pleasant way to die
