service interruption

I slipped today from dreams
without a break in thought, 
without a seam.

The images just went away. 
I marked the point in retrospect
where they'd all been switched out 
for mere imagining. From visuals 
to visualized - we're running daydream 
apps now, boys. Despite my eyes,
securely closed. Despite my body
had as yet no hold in gravity, on
sheets. I hadn't woken up yet - but
it's on the way.

Dreamsight's gone out. I realized
I'd have to eat, to piss, to defecate,
to rise - ideally, not in order named. 

I always feel in moments just 
like this, not yet awake, a strange 
presentiment in retrospect 

that you

were due just then, right soon 
to show. If I had stayed asleep,
that is. 

A daydream's not the same, you
know.
