I awoke in my State,
two Large cities, one
on either side, 250
miles apart. Halfway
in between I was
awake in the middle
somewhere, halfway
here halfway there.
A strange dream
I had that night,
not one of joy nor
of fright, just okay
to be on my way
to or from one
place or another.
I had no reason,
to be halfway in
between, but that
was perfectly okay
by me. Didn’t
need a road map
either way
or guidance by
GPS. Having traveled
to both places before,
I knew the Interstate
would guarantee my
arrival and departure
either or.
Perhaps you too
know the way to
and from places in
the State from
which you come.
And when you
awake from your
sleep, drowsy
though you may
be, you know
as it was with me,
you never left
yet have arrived
on time
precisely where
you need to be.
You’re in your
State, I’m in mine.
Both of us dreaming
or awake living
in our own State
of Mind.
