*dream/comatose-like states*
Copyright - Ivana Vidrich 2002
we don't want to realize that we are
meaningless and insignificant
that doesn't mean we should bury our
heads up our asses

i am fully aware of every little thing whirring
around inside of me
i can make a checklist of what's doing
what is this a sign that i live inside myself
a little too much?

coffe breath 1 55am

wind blowing by the window screen
who's out on the street?
how did their night go?
somewhere across the earth
the ocean is crashing on the shore
and the wind
is blowing by the edge of a cliff
perhaps the same wind that blew past this
shithole a few weeks ago

a little fruit fly
clumsily bumping along
stuck inbetween atoms
the air is angerly pushing
the little fruit fly by
and the poor thing
is dead in one day

                             scars on my body
                             where will they be
                                 when i am dust
                                   a lost memory
                                       gone to rust

i hope my soul finds another introvert
when i'm dead
and it carries on
because i've been better friends with my
soul than any human on earth
i think i will do this till i stop breathing
simply because it's my nature
[if that's how it works]

i wish i could zip from place to place
one moment on the top of the ambassador
bridge starting down the detroit river
forces of 2 cities against me
and maybe then i will feel ontop of things
and no longer uneasy

the next moment i'd love to be
wearing scuba diving gear, walking along
the bottom of the ocean
face to face with a shark
my biggest fear

2 moments after that
i would be falling into the niagra falls
roaring water all around me
overcome and drowning
but it wouldn't drown me
