Before I Wake



Before I wake,

I'd like to know if I survived the giant hopping cow.

To see if it was a treasure that hit my plough.

To know if I escape the dinosaur's foot.

To see if I pick up the gun first and shoot.


Before I wake,

I'd like to know if my team won.

To see what happens if I soar too close to the sun.

To know how my history teacher fights in the old wars.

To see if Earth survives the falling stars.


Before I wake,

I'd like to see some more of the world I've created.

To know the resolution of the play my mind has enacted.


Before I wake,

I'd like to not see that white haze blur out the ending for once.

Before I wake,

I'd like to finish my dreams.

So give me a goddamn chance.
