I NEED MIRACLES
TO DILUTE MY STRUGGLES
WITH AN OVERWHELMING LIST OF IMPOSSIBLES
WAITING TO BE ENUMERATED AS PROBABLES
LEARNING TO BE PHYSICALLY STRONGER
PRACTICING TO BE MENTALLY TOUGHER
NOW HUSTLING IS MY ONLY INCANTATION
AS SUCCESS IS MY ADDICTION

Cold where it meets the tongue
Warm in the mindful eyes relived
Turn up the heat in this solemn room
As it is all that I can do to relive this again

No home, no food, no time left to return
Let alone option to be a companion
As I of the few who remain
Sum of less who survived let alone to thrive

And in breathing I, no, all of this is against me
Every ounce and pound of reality found
In the noise upstairs and the quite beneath
Down below the surface once paid for dearly

But I can touch my lips to a glass of memories
And taste every Saturday of childhood overflowing
As I am there again
But not there at all

Monsters don’t exist
Still, we are very afraid
Because we made them

Today I dreamt of something strange
Something impossible, something out of range

It wan an idea pretty change
Some time and money you could exchange

Plenty of folks were present there
Short, thin, dark or fair

"Why do you come here?" To ask I cared
"To buy some time" he declared

A slight of time I need to buy
Cause my mom is about to die

If I can buy her a little time
Her memories with me would be fine

She'll have times to remember
When of the grave world, she'll be a member

How she did give birth to a son
Who was busy in his life and fun

Nearby, a girl tall and thin
With an ugly pimple on her chin

Spoke; time I also want to acquire
So time for self care I could spare

Blame the competition and success'  greed
I forgot, self care is an essential deed

And then interrupted another folk
He too, would have taken time a joke

Obviously! There he started too
Acting and modeling he wished to do

If he had voiced his wishes on time
His career today would be sublime

And some time, is now what he needs
So his dreams he could heed

On a vast unknown land
Earning gold lessons, I stand

How the time gone will ne'er return
Nor the past shall return

And then to Earth I return back
Knowing time is what I lack

How this daydreaming buried my time
With a frown, now I whine

"Do you know where is the time emporium"
"Tell me which way lane leads to the time emporium"
