my story retold in the third person
these flashbacks
occurring with greater frequency
how young will I be
three or four hours from now
once giving in to the idea
the night is endless
I’ve come to accept
they’re no longer merely dreams
rather ageless recordings
reshuffled and replaying
a not too distant past
from a totally different perspective
at three-thirty in the morning
I’m wide awake
and quite positive
I’ve always been fast asleep
january two thousand nineteen
