Fantasy

(originally posted on FetLife on April 17, 2010)

Here we are just chasing fantasy,
wishing for a day that's never been,

Living...
as though uncertainty, were
something strange,
not how things ought to be.

Chasing dragons, in dragging days,
killing boredom when we can.

Trapping bitterness and wringing it dry,
as though to try
to make it sweet,
While we're just chasing fantasy,
visions that will never be, until
we stop chasing,
we start making,
for a day that's never been.
