fading in & out

but it's real and you know it too
and he hid himself for fear of something
that's gone now not that fear is completely faded
but it has faded others remain jaded
he will prove to himself
do you know it's real and you don't have to read on
but you are and he's got you
luring you in keep reading and you do
stop now you don't have to continue
but you do and he thanks you
what's real and what's not and what about moments
caught between months of comfort
is that pure luck he doesn't think so
how could he ask the flower why it was planted
here and now reading words who inspired
do you know that maybe not
anyway continuing now is mission impossible
will you let it continue or clear the air
he sits daily and empties his head like Jack
he's no longer here but you know this
and still you read as if he put it all down in words
he needs your help is his hand a useless tool
transmitting useless thoughts into forgotten pages
everyone's got better things to do
and so does he but he knows it's real
and his mind won't stop
he won't even tell you anymore
in fact he will walk away if he has to
but you keep reading
so you are running just to get to the end
skimming hoping to remember something
no test no one is going to quiz you
you can't fail he is completely flexible
knocks himself into asana daily despite destructive smoke
he is real right here regardless
and there are no nights when someone would
have to remind him what happened
he recalls it all despite the altitude reached
second floor summer night endless time
boundless thoughts outstretched where he has slept
two years discomfort dispelled
and it's real regardless of where you are in your mind
just a reminder stop anytime no need to continue reading
it would be a shame to think you may have drifted
to something more interesting by now
sitting in the warmth of the setting sun
this will get him to tomorrow
it will still be real tomorrow
and if you are convinced it is a non-reality he exists in
and it is not real then he wasted your time with all these words
but you kept reading until the end...
