Daydream Verses of Parallel Universes

There have been many times I’ve wanted to escape
Examine the tape and reshape the state of my mind
I know I can’t go back in time and rewrite the past
But when I go to sleep I wish I could relive it again
See it again, perceive it better and maybe just then
In some parallel universe…I’m doing it right

I don’t regret my mistakes, those are the breaks
That’s what made me into who I am today
Yet in the daydream of perfection I go in the right direction
I wish I could be as cool and calm as calm can be
I’d watch the scenes in the multiverses play

I wish I had a time machine, a magical screen
Revisiting those digital images and individual visages
Up in my mind’s eye I’d streamline and whelm the realms
  Between fantasy and reality
Maybe my parallel selves dwell in the ideal existence
Living a life that’s in direct proportion…
To the good part of my heart

Then there’s the flipside of things, the sins of the twin
The other side of me, I a Gemini,
The life lived in excess and offence under a false pretense
When the selfishness dominated and egotistical nature sated
As the well-dreaded consequences headed toward me
I’d observe shaking my head, the nerve on that guy! But I –
Am sorry for that poor fellow, stupid young me
Burned but not in vain, that was the way to learn

I know my brain can fire up the neurons
Sending my imagination to play those bygone memories
I can cleverly envision and study myself so that the next time
I can make better informed decisions
A revision of myself in that parallel universe
So that they and I can converse
About the effects articulately, eloquently
Logically exchanging notions and well expressed emotions
So that when I wake up I can live this life
In a manner that’s in direct proportion
To the dream and image I’ve always wanted to be
Not perfect but a more balanced me
