World of Dreams

Would you believe that a mere twig

thin as a gnat’s hair is the only thing

keeping the sky from crashing into

the Earth?

Would you believe that fire ants at

their annual convention in Price, Utah

voted unanimously to rebel against

all mankind?

Would you believe the color blue is

fooling you into thinking green is a

communist conspiracy bent on con-

quering the European Union?

Look around you, things are not as

they appear to be. Even your life has

turned out to be make believe. Wake

up from the dream, my friend…

You’re finished—the end.

You were given a name so that one

day you could be crossed off the list.

Your heart is nothing but a forest fire

of unquenchable desire.

You happen to be a smoldering California

with nothing left to burn. Would you believe?

Of course not. After all, who in their right

mind would believe you after all you’ve

been though?

I, myself, had one hell of time, wasted an

entire hour this morning just dreaming up
this shit. Would you believe I’ ll be given an

ounce of credit for that?
