My friend Marty wrote this poem. I like it immensely.
*****
They have their tricks and I have mine.
I can make myself float
by staring into light bulbs,
so they use florescents.
When I breathe the open air
I too am open, and my mind
floats into cloud-scapes--
so they don't use windows you can open,
and the air is forced to us,
cold, through pipes and vents.
But secretly I drink a glass of water
and even though it could taste better,
it is cool and wet in my throat
and I am on an ocean
floating on my back in a wooden raft.
I can smell the seagulls who land at my feet
and my hair is floating in a pool around me.
The boat lurches softly as the keel
scrapes onto a sandy beach.
