Last night I had a dream
my teeth were falling out
one by one
no anesthesia
nothing
just gums
Last night I had a dream
my soul jumped
out of my body
onto a plane
and
It jumped out of
the plane
held back by
nothing
just guts
Last night I had a dream
my hair was at
wits' end
the quirkiness is dying
surgically remove my
blues
no anesthesia
nothing
just gulfs and gullies
I can swim
Last night I had a dream
I was falling
day by day
slowly
out of
love.
How.
This morning this
dream
was not a
dream.
It was a blue
thought.
I don't have the
time to
fall for
strings
serenade me with
cello voices
horse haired bows
Keep me in
tune
with you
This morning
my dreams
sang
to songbirds
they are
dying
so they
fly South
Exit through the back door
with quiet horse-like footsteps
hang your shoes above the frame
A memory
to remind me of my blues
Good luck to your
next love plot
clot your gulf and gullies
with the anesthesia I
never had the
guts
to use. For I am
numb.
I've given you all I
could. All the time in the
universe.
It could be two thirty
I have no tooth sores
but
I am hurting
today.
You've taken my soul.
jumped on it horse
back through the
Exit. Head
South in five miles.
This is where you will find
the songbirds.
Their morning habits are
dying. They live to
be nocturnal now. The youth
will chew for their loved ones
I'm done chewing
on stale gum.
Tooth sores at two thirty leave
me.
Leave me with dirty habits.
Exit through the back door.
You will never reinvent my dreams
Last night these
dreams
were dying morning habits.
The songbirds lost their cello voices
Say hello to your new love plot
clot tooth sores with gulfs and gullies
don't drool and drown yourself
in dreams that don't exist.
Exit South in five miles.
Sing stale lyrics to dying songbirds.
