With internal warmth, I sink back through glacial
spaces, melting the framework of imaginary boxes,
whose locks cannot contain me - until all the world
unfurls on a seamless plain, dissolved in mist.
Blissful people all around continue
to spin the little motions of clockwork lives -
striving to do the undoable, static in time,
miming with mouthed words on a magician's stage.
Paged by the bellboy, lazy ideas appear
in near thought-bubbles, taking the mass
of my passive body on a sky ride, amounting
to a guided tour of the four corners of heaven.
While others may be anchored in despair,
I'll float on funny cushions in the air.
