I,VE ALWAYS DREAMT

I've always dreamt that I d still Wake up during the arrival flight Feet tranquil but teeth clenched Body rock but mind lava With lava colored skies That placate my dormant eyes

Wake up to nine dongs and a ding that echo Through hills of high amplitude Home to people of the past With greetings and joyful tears That placate my dormant ears

Wake up to canine kisses covering my arm One stroke, one wipe, one sniff Of unpolluted air and earth Smells of privilege, I suppose Placate my dormant nose

But now my dreams aren't interrupted so peacefully A mechanical screech Creeps through bloodshot eyes, unkind And agitates my dormant mind
