Half a World Away

wake up twice
see the clock animated
stepping forward
but behind its eyes
numbers backward
counting down to zero
back to birth or after death: doesn't matter
you won't exist

when you go; there is never here
dreamcatcher or firestarter?
everyday in life is almost
half a world away

a naughty nice
see whole-figured girls
stepping forward
but behind the smiles
people backwards
building you from zero
body parts or puzzle pieces: compound matter
the ideal bride

who you know; all strangers with names
daydreamer or mental case?
everyone in life nearly
half a world away

run horizon
see the day swallowed whole
stepping forward
but beyond the ridge
compass backward
180 degrees to zero
hemisphere or hamster wheel: doesn't matter
you don't arrive

what you do; dimes cost dollars
full-timer or procrastinator?
everything in life always
half a world away
