MESSEGE
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
What is sleep when you are the only one awake and not dreaming? What are these screams of a new reality which only you can see? What is this stream that I swim up while the others continue to drown inside of an image that I no longer fit in being? I found my way out of that concrete box, and no longer is a noose around my neck or any locks on my hands and feet.
Why am I continuing to get up between these god-awful hours of 2 and 4 a.m.? when all I want is my rest, but I continue to see these numbers that have become my nightly test? When I finally fall back into my slumber when I get out of bed the lesson, I remember and realize it was not a dream but a calling a s.o.s
