Please Help Me, I Can't Swim

[Callighan]

A note at 2 am in the morning;

“I’m leaving myself to chance”

 

I know I’m alone in the world

Nobody knows me

Not a soul

Not mine

 

Even friends are aliens

 

~This space is reserved for dreams~

Dreams, that begin at the expense of the previous

 

It is true

 

The dream is true

 

The dream is due

 

..gelap, gelap, lelap

 

I find myself estranged in a cloud

Losing patience and will at the same time

Yet my most dominant sense survives

My sense of curiosity

 

Curiosity, my *kittie kittie*

My undeterred, unsheathed,

*kittie kittie*

 

pusatkan dirimu padaku

 

Because I love you

 

As I am you

 

You,

and my dream

 

Yes,

I’m dreaming of me

As me, as you

As the flowers and clouds

 

Then I see me,

Meeting Ms. Grammar

A miss most missus

Amiss, her thistles

Thisling her whistles

 

And whistling her wishes

 

Some wish I share

And some I actually bear

 

Then I see me

Looking down the table

And a slit

A slit of a skirt

A hint of a bird

It seems a bird in a skirt

 

A pale, blue bird

Nesting its herd

in a skirt

 

Then I look up

And I see a uniform

A unicorn in uniform

With long white hair

And beautiful eyes

 

At first, she glances

Then she dances

 

And then I join her

 

So we dance

And we shall dance

and dance,

and prance

into a trance

 

A trance of transverses

Traversing travesties

Travesties traverse me

They verse me adversities

And adverts, artworks

Artsy breezy, travesties of adverse me

 

And then in a whirl

 

I faint..

 

Dawn breaks,

The night departs into the sunder

I say goodbye to haven

My respite from common sorrows

 

Now off to dawn and daybreak

My breaks, mistakes and heartshakes

 

Oh my bads, plus heartbreaks

 

Then I find myself

Talking to the wall

A wall of appalling gall,

plus bitterness and droll

 

He’s a round-faced wall

A kind wall

Which inverses

What I’ve versed

In the previous verse

 

How redundant!

 

So the wall said;

“Let’s be tall!”

 

And so I become

A short person

With a tall heart

 

Which means,

it’s bottom is a long way down

 

down

 

down

 

~drown~

 

Please help me, I can’t swim
