Now Playing
Colored images, spectral array
eye's closed tight, story plot display
a movie, without a written script
no editing or film on the floor, yet clipped
interesting rest, more so than awake
all sights and sounds, in just one take
recording temporary entertainment
synapse related palette, moving arrangement
future years, to devise and study the mystery
living experiences, related to your own history
uninviting nightly, standard mindful plays
eight hours of a colorful, temporary phase
differently odd, similar wild styles
the curtain is rising, but there are no aisles
planning early morning, pen scrambled notes
one day word moving, screenplay promotes
as regular, as the sun sets and rises
a brain, creating moving downtime surprises
sudden awakenings, from a surrealistic shock
from prior night settings, on my digital clock
