I had a dream last night
it seemed to last so long
at the time it seemed eternal
apologies if the sequence is wrong
Like most dreams it was disjointed
events had no meaning or form
first I was alive then not
next I was dead then I was born
I went on a weird journey
we passed through a bleak city
we knew of a shortcut, underground
though unwise we hoped for pity
We travelled down stairs
and entered a subway
we then began to run
to reach the light of day
My friend pulled away from me
I tried to keep up with him
but I fell back further each step
I couldn’t co-ordinate my limbs
It seemed to last an eternity
but I reached the other side
I stumbled up a stairway
and my eyes opened wide
I was not back on the street
but in a ballroom during the War
I was somewhat underdressed
heads turned as I crept to the door
I escaped and tried to blend in
I spoke to a gold striped Navy man
he was a bit indifferent
so I made a plan
I took my leave
– and then a relapse
my mind was no-where again
I was awakening – perhaps?
