untitled

I float

In and out

Of this place

And this world

As the coffee

Carries me

Over and beyond

The jet-lag

And language

Barriers.

The sense

Of reality

Fighting

With dreamy imagination

And the unsure

And uneasy

Ability to tell

Fantasy

Apart from what has

Happened

And what is

Just a vapor

Of unreal dreams.
