Kit Kelen #734 - oneiric

734

oneiric

there is an upstairs in the dream

no lid on the snake

the poem begins in half night

elsewhere we are then

most of us have to struggle for irony

had to get to the pool too

just you try that climb

or we had come from there

so much summer coming

at the end of a career

the prime minister is telling us to buy furniture

this will be good for the economy

it's serious

I don't need to sit an exam

don't need to be at this meeting

here just to make you look good

I am still trying to leave the Woolley Building,

my teaching job, Hong Kong, high school

I have many parcels to gather yet

I want to be inconspicuous

I could be at home now

my hat has been crushed but I need it

there is more than one hat

which one should I leave wearing?

junked in together

someone from school is in sales

in my way

all inane conversation

do I go back in there for the other?

it's only a little snake

don't know where we misplaced the lid

must keep checking to see

if you don't allow yourself to arrive

you're never going to be here
