Running dreams: a cricket sings

There's a cricket inside our room

but I'm trying to sleep and shouldn't

think about cricket legs

how it used to be

running real fast

in a cornfield your perspective changes

faster and faster

the rows of corn sprout legs longer,

much longer than your own

just watch them hop from one row to the next

velocity put to melody that

winged beasts sing for

fickle corn-ears...

soon, the memory drift'd asleep.
