Do not follow me

Don’t try to touch my thoughts
that rest upon this pillow,
I will not stay.
You are amusing, yes.
Well, all the others here are too.
Let’s sit and put our toes
into the cool blue sea
and watch as
parachutes drop into boats
that jump the waves 
and pass above our heads
like porpoises with wings.

Let’s drink to our good health
and dine on golden wings
from albatross
and other feathered things
the likes we’ve never seen.
Let’s fly up in a blue balloon
and search for bonfires
down below in forests green
and dark with shadows grey

Let’s run and run and leap
high as we can 
then ride the elevator down,

           down 

                      down

                                 down

No, wait!

Do not follow me
for I awake and flee!
