Dream Time. by Ian Lewis Copestick

You must know it

I know it

That amazing feeling

 Better than sex

Better than any drink or drug

Your eyelids flutter

BAM !

You're ( half) awake again

Struggling, slowly surfacing

Back to reality

Now, you know

That you are still half asleep

But

For 5,10, maybe even 15

Seconds

You feel like the King Of The World

You've got the Pullitzer

The Nobel

You have just been proclaimed

The best poet

The greatest thinker

Of the age

And

You've just been to bed with

The most beautiful woman

In the world to celebrate

 But .....

Shake, struggle

Struggle, shake

Bang !

You're back down to earth

The bedside lamp is still on

You've just finished a long

Long night shift in a factory

Never mind

Drain the glass by the bed

Turn over

It won't be long
