No Corners (Dream Logic)

There was a staircase in my kitchen

I don't have stairs

But I went upstairs anyway

Woke up wearing somebody else's shoes

My bedroom window had the evening news

The anchor said the moon was running late

So everybody had to reschedule eight I brushed my teeth inside a

grocery aisle My childhood teacher hadn't aged a while She handed me

a key made out of bread

Said, "Don't forget the thing you never said" Okay

Sure

That

makes sense

The walls keep breathing

Nobody cares The floor is water But somehow there's stairs My phone

keeps ringing

It's calling itself I pick it up

There's nobody else Nothing has corners here Nothing stays where it was

Nobody asks why Nobody

asks because The sky's in the hallway My house is a train

I know this is normal Don't make me explain

Nothing has corners here Nothing has names Everything changes And stays just

the same My brother turned into a traffic light

He said he's working there on Tuesday nights

A woman with a television face

Asked why I parked my ocean in her space I said,

"I'm sorry, I was looking for the mall"

She pointed through a painting on the wall

I climbed inside and landed on the moon

Where everybody said I'd come too soon Wait

Didn't I have

somewhere to be?

The clocks are melting

But time isn't late

A dog in a necktie Is guarding the gate He asks for

my password I tell him "blue" He says,

"That's correct But it isn't for you" Nothing has corners here Nothing

stays where

it was Nobody asks why Nobody asks because The sky's in the

hallway My house is a train

I know this is normal Don't make me explain

Nothing has corners here Nothing has names

Everything changes And stays just the same I remember a place

That I've never been

I recognize strangers

I've never seen

I lost something precious

I don't know what

I'm searching so hard

For a thing I forgot

Then everybody freezes

Except the ceiling fan

And somehow I know

I'm supposed to—
