Dream Reality
They gave him a pacemaker
a few more years of life to hang on to
even if life is restricted
and cha, cha is out of bounds
and it is easier to walk on asphalt-
He sees the nature trail he
once followed to a small forest lake
but never tells that once he
saw a mermaid there and she
had no fishtail.
Truth and fantasy have merged
in his mind.
Only when sadness hurts do
he looks up and sees the rope hanging
from a beam.
A rope fit for a tyrant,
only the finest hemp.
Pacemaker, to be kept alive
by a battery...he smiles.
