An acrostic poem on vivid dreams
———————————————-
V oices in my head call to me, from down the hall
I pull my pillow up - to swiftly cover face
V ast images arise before me, I don’t recognize at all
I must be dreaming, nothing’s familiar in this place
D o I dare communicate, or keep my eyes closed, as if sleeping
*
D aylight is hours away, and I am all there is
R em’s holding me captive in its grasp, actively dreaming
E very muscle twitches - till I’m fully his
A nother minute and I may forever be asleep
M oments pass slowly as the clock ticks on the wall
S unrise is the super-power that I need to wake me up. That’s what I get for drinking too much alcohol

Leave Me Alone, I Said To Myself
So, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you A voice asks me - from inside my head * I answered hesitantly What are you doing here? As I restlessly flail in my bed * I thought I told you to leave me alone My meds are meant to keep you away The voice turns to laughter and then says to me, there is no way to keep me at bay * What you don’t understand and refuse to admit Your control becomes mine when you sleep I, your subconscious - have a plan and agenda, and a limited time frame to keep * So just lay back and relax - I’ll let you know when I’m done Take a breath and relinquish your inhibitions Don’t worry, you won’t remember - it’ll be fun You should ignore any future premonitions * When the moon comes and peeks in your window The light shines on you - lost deep in dreams Nothing is at all what it looks like What you see isn’t always what it seems * But you’re wrong, I said, I always remember These dreams that I have when you come They are vivid and I relive them for hours They make me feel like I’m coming undone * The next thing I know I am awakening As the sun makes it’s way through the shade Remembering every event of my nightmare Reliving it - while wide awake

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

Wonderful work!! Love the last line! :)
Great piece. That last line wraps it up perfectly. Well done.
Ah that last line...I think I've been subject to this dream before. HAHA! Great work!
