Raft
~~~
I awake homeless
in the shadows of the night
lying on a top bunk in the corner
of a dormitory full of snoring hacking men…
~
A beaurucrat has explained to me that
eight & a half months from now
I can start getting social security
I’ll be 62 years old & hopefully still free…
~
An ancient Egyptian entity
breaks through, informs me
that I’m really lying on a small raft
floating on the celestial Nile…
~
Heading for the grand horizon of heaven…
