my room smells like
smoke and incense
and i hope this is in my future

my books were stacked
neatly, and yet--
i hope this is in my future

my dreams have been filled with
bruised knees and guitar solos
grating voices and surprise visits
i've been dreaming about my future

people disappear and
reappear without a sound
i'll bring all my friends to town
i'm excited about my future

high rise buildings
wall to floor glass
i hope this is in my future

thick tapestries &
old oil paintings
looking forward to my future

my dreams have been filled with
boys with buns and coffee mornings
smooth voices and planned visits
i've been thinking about my future

people are almost permanent
i know when they will go down
i'll see all my friends in town
i'm real anxious about my future

i'm confused about my future
i've been thinking about my future
looking forward to my future
i'm excited about my future
i've been dreaming about my future
i hope you are in my future
