the doldrums must die

I fail to see the harm in dreaming
my walter middy mind doesn't alarm me,
dreams are just an extension of your arm
as you try to touch the universe and you insist
your conscience take a day off
it is there in the magic of no-limits,
there in the rejection of rote footsteps
relayed by generations of mechanical teachers
where one can feel the pine needles scraping the bare thigh
as you run into the night and you begin to dance like shiva
'round the fire
and sparks can be inhaled and exhaled
cells cauterized to kill the oceanic doldrums
and a new you is born in your desire to imagine
the unimaginable
