Clouds cover my eyes
and smoke drips from my lips
as I lay down to wake

the thoughts flitting through my mind
as my body floats in a bubble of time

stuck, as everything else
flys swiftly by

like a fish in a tank
my own bubbles of thought
floating up from my lips
I stare in wonder
At the noiseless sound
And thoughtless stares
Of no one there

I close my eyes
And my dreams are stolen from me
In a daze I do not know

I run from the darkness
And hide in the light
And cower from the wishes at my fingertips
And the smiles on my wrists.

As my body floats through this daze
My eyes shut tight in this bubble of mine
I **** the smoke back from my lips
And take another hit.
