last night i stood in an open field
and reached for the stars
as god bent over and attempted
to
give me a cookie
my shoes have walked many miles
just to get here
and the soles laid autographed
by the countless people and small
animals i've stepped on to get here

i couldn't reach it so i stood on
the top of an old car that laid dormant
and i realize it wasn't any god like entity
just a mere satellite floating across the
universe

my body grew numb and like
it has been for a while

i drove my car to a festivity
and stood in a blanket of smoke
as everyone carried on conversations

i look to the left and watched people slew
over green material scattered
on a magic video game

i stared in the eyes of people i've known
for years and none of them understand me or
let alone can fathom the thoughts that clutter
my mind like nsync posters that you use to plaster
on your morbid walls

a group of girls sat and passed secrets from
ear to ear like naive adults that seem
to form an opinion on every factor

cute

but utterly typical

yet they have never left this comfort zone

i soon left and found myself in my room
as the tv displayed black lines that
crossed every now and then
and simply i smiled

cause

i've been awoken from my torpid state

and now i'm ready

to live
