Dreamscape II

The first time I was dead
Was after the stars had fallen.
The truck in the woods by the picnic table
Would not start
So we pumped the clutch
And rolled toward home,
Fleeing the falling firmament.


I looked down upon the apocalypse.
They were gathered in a large building,
A school? An auditorium?
There was a piano,
I think I had played it while alive.


They were in danger,
But I was safe now.
Oh, Lord, how long?
