I had a dream that I could fly
I showed you, soared around the yard, flapping arms like wings,
I pointed up into the sky
wind in my hair, joyful mind
then down beside you
did you see? I asked, knowing you did--
I'd felt your glowing eyes
No, you said. I saw you walk
expression bored
the floor dissapeared, and i floated up
gravity pulling me the wrong way
towards clouds
I reached at tree tops
grasped at telephone poles, trying to climb up to the ground
the wind blew me over houses
and you stood, feet on the ground, eyes beside you
talking the other way.
