25813 a dream variation


that one
where i can't walk
fast enough
where i claw
at the cracks in the footpath
at the furniture
or at the scenery
to pull or push
myself
forward

and no one
notices

and tonight
it follows that other
recurring vision
where i glide
without walking
levitate forward at will
along corridors
and down stairs
and i usually do this
in private
but today
i'm at work
gliding to see
if anyone
notices

and they don't

and when i wake
i'm touching
spooning
embracing
my love's
celibate
body
