UNTITLED

why can't the trees be red
the desert wet?
the waiting is over
(dear)
the future is here
but looks like the past
the doors are open
but they are behind you
don't turn around
you'll miss what's next
the spacey cadet
is captain of your fantasy ship
no need to tip him
or your hat
he has taken me where
you didn't want to be
too bad you focused your attention
(full time)
on what you didn't want
your lovers and their now
have you in their middle
between them
and it is good.
