asleep reality is never going to kill you
starve you to death
or get you into so much trouble with the law
that you’ll be thrown in jail for life
— in fact asleep reality is usually
really dreamy– a kind of goofy world
in which conflicts are avoided run from
flew from dissolved into the ether
and resolved as your dream girl:
moony-eyed mute alone and daydreaming
of you
alone reality is never going to look
over your shoulder:
you can eat in the nude leave your room
a mess sleep all day and nobody will tell
you to get your shit strait you’re so fucked up
you’ll never amount to anything–
nothing is better than that and almost always
more interesting:
create your own friends who’ll take you as you are:
moony-eyed mute alone and dreaming
of them
silent reality is the best way to reach
other real people; if you find yourself stuck
in such a situation just don’t say anything
because nothing can’t be held
against you in the court of life:
words wobble way too much to be
of reliable to use to anyone
other than poets or punsters–
silence means you care too much about people
to befuddle them so cut to the quick and hug
kiss caress slap ’em till they’re
moony-eyed mute alone and dreaming
of you
