This place is a dream

only a sleeper considers it real

then death comes like dawn

and you wake up laughing

at what you thought

was your grief

A man goes to sleep in the town

where he has always lived

and he dreams

he's living in another town

in the dream he doesn't remember

the town he's sleeping in his bed in

he believes the reality

of the dream town

the world is that kind of sleep

Humankind is being led

along an evolving course,

through this migration

of intelligences

and though we seem

to be sleeping

there is an inner wakefulness,

that directs the dream

and that will eventually

startle us back

to the truth of

who we are.
