Fog leaked

through the trees

and spilled like smoke

onto the world below

in the dark of predawn

in the dark of predawn

in the dark of predawn.

Maybe I'm hearing things

in the background

or seeing things

in the distance

through eyes closed;

maybe the cranial storms

subsided long enough

to notice

I've never been awake.

Maybe not.

I woke up

alone

in the backseat

of my car

yesterday morning

statically trying

to outrun the static.

There's no time

in dreams;

it's easy to see

how one could get lost

in them

so often.

And the door is ajar

in that apartment

you dream of,

but the door

to the dream is closed;

we're all so lonely

in the cold interior

of our moving cars,

aren't we?
