Luminous gray blue
Sending me messages
Screaming distance
Clicking
Humming
Electric lights off
Layers of sleepy people
Snoring
Some off pretending
Not to get too close
Bright light spying
Into the dark night
Crawling around corners
Fetching for the bug-eyed
Not yet sprawling
Snoozing off
In their ‘other worlds’
Live action movies
Blending with pretending
Uncomprehending
Whispers
Hushes and
Distorted clutches
Dreaming of realities
Bending
Twisting
Climbing
From their beds
Scared of the images
Inside of their heads
Shuffling to their fridges
Shaking off the chills
Of realities
Dreams
That never end.
