Everything shares
a neon hue

Your first grade teacher is
reading the bill of rights
backwards

You are fully clothed,
which seems uncharacteristic

You feel that
in Your life
You may have
slain a dragon

What appears to be
Your right hand
is raised in the air,
but You have no answer
to any question
that may have been posed

Upon further inspection
Your right hand is a frying pan

Your mouth opens to speak
and all of Your teeth fall out
Everyone around You
erupts into laughter

The smell of Her natural perfume
fills the room
as You have
the right to bear arms

There is now only
You and Her
intertwined

Her hair is softer
than you remember it
and Her eyes are
emitting laser beams

She says something
about the invaders
as a bright white light
fills Your line of sight

You kiss for
what feels like
the last time
as You are ripped from
her embrace
up through the ceiling
and into the vast
darkness of night

You float for two eternities

A scene draws itself
around the darkness,
an empty bank vault
filled with safety deposit boxes

You hold a ring full of keys

The opening of each box
is done in the blink of an eye
There is one that remains closed
The tension builds as You
insert the key
and open the final box

You score the game winning
home run in the bottom
of the ninth

Your team throws you
on their shoulders
as You start to cry

They are not tears of Happiness

You are back in Her embrace,
but She is not embracing You

She has died

You begin to realize that You are dreaming,
and You try to resuscitate Her

You do not succeed

Then You wake up
