Where no tyranny is tolerable

Dream Death

I wake
In a semi-lucid dream
To find that I am dead!
I try to stretch and feel myself
But I am stiff and cold.
It must be rigor mortis.
I try to feel my pulse.
There is no pulse.
It seems I am not breathing,
And don’t even feel the need to.
I get up and walk around,
Feeling bloated with some gas.
I muse:
Don’t dead people smell bad ..
Should I take a bath?
No,
Because water speeds decomposition.
I wonder:
When will I start to decompose?
And how long will it take?
I ponder:
Should I call 911?
Go to a hospital
So they will know I am deceased?
Should I call my family,
Tell them the bad news?
I consider:
I wouldn’t have to worry
About a job, or food, or bill collectors,
Or doing clothes or washing dishes
Or getting into arguments,
Or going to the bathroom,
Or getting sick or getting well,
Or being in an accident and killed.
And I wouldn’t need a place to live
Since I am dead …

Then I awake for real,
And find that I am still alive!

Now that you are awake, did you pay your phone bill? or did you think you could avoid it by dreaming it away? LOL, it's good to see you real-world posting again.
Now, about those chores you are avoiding....

Ya know - I never know what to expect when I open one of your works, Jaime - and I'm surely NEVER disappointed - This is a truly unique vantage point - Quite an "out of body experience" for sure...

Welcome home, Jaime. This is as good as one of those "falling dreams" where one wakes with a start...

Well done!

Wake up, it's grocery shopping day. LOL.
Actually, it's fun Friday by my calendar.
