Nameless Dreamer

You play guitar in your dreams
for large leafy crowds
who scream while your fingers
strum chords that would make no sense
in real life,
but here, before you wake,
they appear sensible....

And though your eyes are open,
now, you cannot help but
think about your dream life.
You roll off your stomach and onto your back.
You lie awake wondering what it is that you lack
You lie awake wondering
You lie awake pondering
what keeps you from being happy?
Next morning you're gone from my side...

And you wake up in Georgia,
You sleep until Texas,
you share a donut with
a plump pretty hostess...
You're driving through Phoenix,
not much more left,
And you don't even miss me,
You learn not to miss me
Once you've forgotten what you've left
