Michael's Chronicles: On the Road Again


Michael's on the road again, which I guess is kind of a redundant report, because he's there for most of the year. I guess the motels can run together after a while, but at least there are weird dreams.

Another Motel 

July 20 

I’m not trying to sleep 

I am sleeping 

So I don’t care If the train goes by 

He can be part of my dream 

Quacky ducks and geese 

Grass and a pond 

On both sides of the track 

I am a witness 

Watching from my dream 

The engine first, then the cars 

Ka clacketa clack 

Ka clacketa clack 

They’ve seen it all before 

They’re watching me in my dream 

I hop on my carpet 

And fly above them 

I need no wings 

I am free and floating 

My dream has set me there 

The train’s whistle 

Toots through the night 

Across my mind 

Taking my imagination 

For a little cruise 

Who will I meet? 

What will I find? 

I am open you know 

Always open always moving 

Traveling the dreamscape 

The birds ask me 

How they ended up in my dream 

I tell them I don’t talk to birds 

Ask the train, ask him 

I am but a traveler dreaming my night away
