Shmack Down

Push off and away from the psycho babble
Squeeze past and shimmy by the me plus world schematic
Casually forget the authority figures and critics and whoever else smothers you
Float away from the conversation and leave the planet

You are asleep, adream, and at last afloat
Your imagination is unfastened and your time is uncounted

Pearly gates, compound fractures, whatever it is
It is yours to imagine and explore

Until your REM cycles wind down
And the sunlight creeps in
Right as the wooly mammoth you were talking to decides to aimlessly wander and disappear
You awake

You awake 6 minutes prior to your alarm clock
65 minutes before you have to be there
3 days until the big whatever
21 days to pay the whoever
13 months until the wedding
And a few hundred months until the big sleep
