interloping dreamer
she said I saw you
flirting with death the other day
and where was that I replied
fairly certain she had me confused
with some other restless heart
oh I don’t know she went on to say
it may have been at the tar pits
or was it somewhere inside the marsh
I haven’t been spelunking
or tangling with gators of late
though perhaps you’ve been devising ways
to infiltrate my fearless dreams
april two thousand twenty-four
