The rain, it started tapping
on the window near my bed.
There was a loophole in my dreaming,
so I got out of it.
And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open.
Just my nightstand and my dresser
where those nightmares had just been.
So I dressed myself and left then,
out into the gray streets.
But everything seemed different
and completely new to me.
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body.
And each person I encountered,
I couldn't wait to meet.
I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health.
I said "there is nothing I can do for you you can't do for yourself."
He said "Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand.
I think that would help."
So I sat with him a while and then I asked him how he felt.

He said, "I think I'm cured.
No, in fact, I'm sure of it.
Thank you Stranger,
for your therapeutic smile."

i just want to say thanks to people who are kind just for the sake of it.
to people i barely knew.

i'm so thankful for real human experiences.
because they happen so rarely.


i haven't slept in 24 hours.
and i'm actually a lot happier now.
