it's rough with no editing, and I'm pretty sure it breaks the rules, but that's how it goes.


I am

I am dreaming
- I think -
I am writing a "What
I Did on My Summer Vacation" essay
where
I was an ambassador for the intergalactic UN
except
it was really the intersolar system UN and
I was the ambassador for Earth
I went to Pluto
still a Planet and not yet relegated
to second-class citizenship
I saw talking flowers and traffic jams in the sky

I am dreaming-
but my cat is nudging me
and the alarm clock is braying
bringing me back

I am dreaming
of robots and aliens and jet packs
of the Back to the Future utopia I was promised
not where I am
with dirty dishes and work and bills
and the reality I still
can't believe in
no matter how many years
I am in the Real World
