Sometimes,
when I step outside the dream and
look behind the scenes
there's a technical crew with cameras and,
do you think it's right,that the features that run through
my sleep late at night, should be captured and framed at
24 per ?

I stand there (behind the scenes)
where dreams are as real as the dreamers that dream them and the men that watch them with squinted eyes through a fishtail lens
bend into the ambient light,
it could be that what I see is not a dream at all,
it could be real,
the deal being that when I'm awake
I'm awake in a dream and each scene is but a picture I see within another dream and who,
I ask,is dreaming of me?

Sometimes,
awake or asleep,day or night if I'm right or when the mood hits the light that bounces off the window panes
I play games
I write books
give girls longing looks,
and I'm never sure if I am
dreaming or not.
