Water Stars, Magic Carpet Ride

by J and J - Cancer

i just remembered, what the hell
movie it was, where the kid,
you know, THE kid, floats in the crystaline
black water, imbued with stars, packed with floating
stars reflected by the stillness of the water
and the stillness of the sky...
i came home around 5am, maybe, at the bar
till close at 4
and this and so much more?!?
no, nothing more,
and it was bloody cold out, cold for september
and i lite a smoke, lay down in the suburban grass
and stared at the not-so-starry night.

and i had a dream, a vision-waking-dream
that everything was alright, that this magic carpet ride
"you don't know-ah, what you can find-ah"
that this magic carpet ride was over
and we were fine, and everything was fine.  ah dreams

so i got up, picked an inch worm outah my kinky hair
wandered inside, fell on my bed.  ah-yup.

Reason for writing:

    still trying to find my poetry groove
