Playing the keys of the midnight piano~
Lost in a dream, with my eyes wide open~
That wisp of life, inside your antireflection~
..is me~

Gaze /
Between /
Dimensions /
Ones and Zeros /
An asymptote predestined to be crossed. //

The sun creeps over the horizon
... As I peer over my comforter,
Colors cascade like butter spread on toast,
... Then both of us stretch into shape
Hopefully, neither will end up behind a cloud today.

Lost on a feeling deep within, my pride goes tumbling
I grasp onto the edge, fingernails peeling
Cannot help but scream as I try to hold on for dear life
Quickly I fantasize about a rescuer, pulling me up at the last minute
But
   My
     Cry
        Was
       Swallowed
                    By
                      The
      ­                   Darkness
Over the cliff I go, wind whistling into and out of my ears,
If only there was a soft place to land, I could at least wait for my bones to heal
But no, this was the risk I took when I decided to climb one last time
There is no harness for life - this was the fate I chose
There
     Was
        No
          One
             to
               Disappoint
                         But
                            Myself
I feel the jagged rocks pierce my abdomen, a ******* sound
The world begins to tilt, all the memories and moments leading up to this seem small
Yet I still live. It was not a fatal blow afterall
Although anyone else would give up, I trod along - wound and all... no dressing

Neurons buzz, hiss, crack;
A shower of sparks from an overloaded transformer – it’s too much;
My breath enclosed within recycled paper;
Her countenance repeating on infinite rewind, play, fast forward;
Until the moment has worn away - smooth and unrecognizable;

Ventricles fill, turn, flow;
An eyelash brushes away a puddle of lonely tears – it’s too much;
My breath enclosed between two lips;
Her warmth deftly singeing through my heart, mind, and soul;
A moment that truly is a memento – my dearest’s jardinière.

Lost my way to the basis
Tensor product; Cartesian Mapping
How many dimensions does this reality have?

Take the triple integral over the
[X   Y   Z] domains of my heart
There's a discontinuity where you should be...
So the operation fails

A lonely vector space without its covector
A negative limit as time approaches infinity
A wayward zero that's not allowed a reciprocal

A child is born for the circus
Whoosh, a teacup!
Whoa, a glass tiara!
Wowza, a puppy!
One by one we grab on and throw our dreams into the sky
Look at them go!
Look at them soar!
What a show!
Then the child become a man, but the man begins to creak
Clrang! There goes my teatime,
Shing! There goes my pride,
Ugh! Where did this dog come from?
With nothing left to hold on to but the palpable silence
He stares into the audience with blurry eyes
And walks off the stage.
