Silly people sleep to dream

nightmares are for the others.

The ones with they're heads facing forward

chins up, eyes fixed on the step one step

after the next.

Those people wake up sweating

searching the room, for familiarity

caught between fear..and redundance.

Breathing a sigh of relief

because they know now that it could be worse

ignoring that it could be better.

Unaware that bad dreams come from missed steps

and skipped experience.

Silly people get purple puppies and giant, friendly lady bugs.

The rest

get recognized

by the guy behind the counter of Bargain Beverage

attempting to stop the sweating.
