Rivers from the Sea

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Rivers from the seaOnce upon a Realworld time And in a Realworld placeI sent myself to see myselfI had some time to waste.I sent myself to see myselfTo see if I could seeIf I could see what I'd be like On the Dreamworld side of me.Imagine if you can awhileMy incredulityWhen in this Dreamworld place I'd foundI'd lost reality.For what was up here, there, was down,And right was left to me.A mirrored image of the Truth.I'd lose my sanity.So I've given up that Dreamworld shitThe Realworld, that's for me.Where water flows uphill as it shouldAnd rivers from the sea.
