ignis fatuus 9/26/26

In this world,

where I am awake,

I'm aware of my smallness.

I'm always thinking about

what I see around me,

a collection of events

mostly out of my control.

Situations play out

like the news.

An endless series of unfortunate weather patterns,

and nightmares hiding inside of cookie-cutter homes.

In the other world,

where I'm asleep,

I can fly.
