coerced by a dream
never feared
hostility a dream once had

scale tipped subliminally
surfaced and drifted in
on a wave of the pacific ocean

the decision was dancing
back and forth, turning round
it was a waltz, 3/4 time

the party ended
chased my smoke out the door
to fade in the night

coerced by a dream
never feared
hostility a dream once had

gazing from my window
i got no wave back
counting the tears fall from my face

the beach was aggressive
as were the plains
one would win

the battle was over
i went home
back to the plains
