IMAGINE AND IMAGINE, THEN IMAGINE AGAIN

Feel so homeless that can't even imagine an imaginary homeland.
The country I came from is falling apart
The country I came to is helping the previous country fall apart
Now sleep and Imagine
Or stay awake and Imagine the homeland
Home land left behind
And homeland occupied
Occupied what ?
The park bench if you are lucky

The moment has passed
The moment passes
The moment is in the past
Past is of the past
Past is in the past tense

Homeland is in the past
Its also the past tense
Move on
A very favorite two words by the progressive
Intellectual scholars..
"Move on."
Move on to which park bench ?
Move on to which avenue ?
Move on to which winter?
Move on to which slippery street ?
Move on to which crack on the road ?
"Move on"
"Don't be so negative."
"Move on."
 Why don't you move on ?
Wherever...

'Get out of my way."
Get out...

Its all in the memory
Memory is in the memory
Its memory based
Memory connected
Memory leading to another memory
And then to another memory
And when you are dying
Memory starts to fade
Like fades
Fades and then fades and then no Imagination
Then sleep,,,
Like the effect of anesthesia
Slowly going, going, going, gone...

It was them actually who didn't want me to have a homeland
It was them actually who wanted me to be homeless
It was them actually who took my park bench away...
Pause...
Pause...
Pause...

I said,"Pause."
Its written in the script
No, you don't want to follow the pause ?
Go be in some one else's play.
