The Long Song and Dance

It’s a long song and dance where time stands still

flying in and out of myself

where I see things,

go places,

like into the future,

and back to the past,

beyond ordinary borders,

where people play with each other,

for kicks.

Life is not a joke

It's so much more than that,

It’s serious

for me, most of the time

and when it gets to be too much

when my heart feels heavy,

when it burns in my pituitary,

and I choke, I remove

my cloak,

and fly

in and out of myself,

to the place where time stands still

over the borderline, 
to give myself another chance,

in my long song ~
and dance.
