Words.

Are there no ends to the tricks you can make words perform?

Fear is the most real word in the English language.

It's only been days
since we last spoke
but I think I'm fading.
I've been dreaming -
dreaming thoughts
dreaming words
dreaming places.
I've seen my mother and sister
and my roommate on occasion;
the lady who works behind the counter at Peirce
and the one who cleans up the floor;
the man who talks to the sky
and his dog.

Is it so bad
if I dream of you?
if I dream of life?
if I dream of possibility?

It's only been days
since we last spoke.
I'm not here
anymore.
