Window shopping
         and buying
   trying on while dreaming
               buying
                     jeans
               trying for dreams
hoping for dreams to come real

 

Owning the dreams
being owned by the dreams

But they’re dreams
           they’re not real

Going shopping
           stopping
                  hoping
                       trying
                            buying
                                a t-shirt
                                and jeans

dreaming hoping
           the dream will come real

 

I can taste the dream
      I can feel the dream
   But it’s not real, the dream

Going shopping, hoping

 

the t-shirt is real
the jeans are real
the earrings
the sandals
the lip gloss
          are real

I’m buying
          hoping  longing
                dreaming
                      my dream will
                               come real

I’m inside my dream
            Can’t buy my dream
                 but all I look at
                     all I try
                         it’s for the dream

  
I’m living inside
            inside my dream
   in a fog, in a mist
            kissed by the dream
   drifting inside my dream

while shopping
            shopping
                  for t-shirt
                      and jeans
                  for dangly earrings
                      bright red sandals
                      shiny lip gloss


shopping for the dream
            dreaming hoping for the dream to
                                come real

                 if only
                  maybe

            shopping
                trying
                     buying

            inside my dream
                sure it will come real
                     someday
                           if only

      now deep deep . . . deep inside my dream
