Oblique Strategy: Think Of The Radio

3- Holiday Inn

are they asleep yet not dreaming?
or half awake in a mirage?
in their own mind's eye are they content?
content to stir restlessly?
content to revolve in some endless hotel doorway?
content with the illusion of sanctimony?

no rosary, rosemary
no circles or crosses
no three in a row
just more dots and boxes

smoke and mirrors, salt in circles
unnatural reflections of an eschewed self
acceptance, allowance, patience in prose
putting damnation back up on the shelf

if you're content to wander aimlessly then darling, so am i
after all
if it was all just a dream, would that make it any less meaningful?
