asleep between short thoughts
angry dreams wake close to meaning

wings of fear crack into flight everywhere
stay	you are not safe
go 	you are not safe

time invents conspiracies against now

and place does not matter 
where you are / where you are not

But I want to say . . . 
what if you gain the whole world and lose . . .
	something I can't remember . . .

I want to say . . .
what is worth more than the whole world 
	 ( can't remember )

want to say . . .
	the whole world is being destroyed 
		yes / that’s it . . . 
	
	the whole world is being destroyed 
by what you gain
