Livin' The Dream

And then we sit.
Sinking further and further into this quicksand we like to call Couch.
In front of
A million different quips and requips and it all seems so funny but what are we really doing here?
Escaping?
Daydreaming?
Of course.
I am the Illusionist.
I am the one who minimizes school work and studies.
I am the one who makes responsibility disappear into thin atmosphere.
I am the one who magistrates the orchestra of rock and roll.
I am the one who works all morning and fucks all night.
I am the brilliant color blue and I am the ugliest shade of green.
This is a dream.
Wake up!
WAKE UP!
Wake. Up.

Now I'm flustered and frustrered and flibbed and flopped.
I am failing.
I am flailing in the ocean, just trying to tread water.
And yet I act as if we,
We are floating along in a clear blue pool,
On a purple raft,
Drink in hand,
Together.
