Late last week after Dorothy fell asleep
A rain drop leaked from her ceiling onto her cheek.
And soon her mind was caught in a travelling thought,
One that she once knew well but then forgot:
     When was the last time I crossed the street?
     And what if on that day I was hit by a car,
     And knocked my head so hard i fell into a coma?
     And now I’m living in a dreamland conspiracy
     Where everything is the same as reality,
     But with one exception:
     No one in my dream can change,
     They are stuck the way I knew them,
     But I am changing so much, and so fast.
     And what if I were to **** myself in dreamland--
     Something I am always too shy to try--
     Would I wake up in a moon white gown
     With everyone I know around
     And say, "you've all changed so much,"?
     And would I get to know them all again?
     Would I remember dreamland?
     Would I tell anyone?
     Would a normal person think this up?
     Am I abnormal?
     I should get to sleep.
So Dorothy thought up some cotton candy sheep,
And counted herself into a deep and dreamless sleep.
But she will have this same thought again next week,
Just like the rain from her ceiling, it will leak.
All feedback is appreciated. rip it apart :)
