In between dreams

Sometimes it’s hard for me

to fit in this world


sometimes I feel that I

could stop a rushing train

right there in its tracks

seconds before speeding off a cliff

absorbing its full momentum

saving hundreds at a time


that my roar could cause an avalanche 

which in one embrace I would stop


that I would devise an equation

quantising particles

manifolding them

thereby unlimiting food and fuel


that I could fly out in space

grab and chew a whole black hole

and spit out a new universe


in my mind’s eye I can

and have done all these things


of course in the real world I couldn’t

but my daydreams and nightdreams

are full of daily scenarios

because I am weak-bodied

and strong-willed


and because I know

what it takes to love

what it takes to be unloved

to seek refuge in dreams

when everything else

falls apart


for my inner world is larger

than the entire universe
