Dream

I don't know where I go when I go to sleep I wake up and I wonder where I've been I look around and realize where I am Forgetting where I'm resting, it would seem I woke up in a hotel room Like in that Bergman film The room was very strange and alien A heavy hipped lithograph hung on Marie Antoinette grey I did not know whether 'twas night or day Hello, happy Anna Pidgin English told[?] Jangling telephone ring Go on with the show [?] Bring me Chivas Regal Drown my sorrows deep D'isigny cheese and coffee Victorian bath chamber 19th-century European hotel I'm in the Bergmann movie Part the dusty curtain Quite high to the street Overquartered people Walk by wintry trees I might never leave here Captive in the past I'm just lonely dreaming Eye circles don't last Austrian ice champion Fresh-eyed rosy cheek Secret message tapping Through the pipe just speaks Surfacing from deep sleep Unknown wilderness Clinging in the dream state To a thread of consciousness It's a realistic still-life French mock-antique decor Frozen in my doom bed As the visions face the floor The bed was on a small stage The curtain hung the part Ghosts of strange assortment At the Private Opera The drama then was reversed The phantom cast replayed Advancing from the shadows As awareness did fade Sapping my strength from me To combat the creeping fear Forcing ears open [?] I will my father near Sapping my strength from me I toil to no avail Movement none could I make Nor shun the phantom will Sleep at last o'ercomes me Safety in defeat Once again 'tis morning Car horns in the street Part the dusty curtain Quiet eye to the street Overquarted people Faceless by wintry trees Victorian bath chamber 19th-century European hotel I'm in the Bergman movie La la la la la la la La la la la la
