On The Other Side Of The Dream

Gabor Szabo: In My Life

When he recalled it later,
he would realize that
his feeling at the time
was akin to sleepwalking,
and that though he was
about to carry out his plan,
he felt strangely empty,
as if that great plan
were some casual pleasure trip
that he was setting out on.
But somewhere in a
corner of his mind
lurked the consciousness
that what he was doing
was actually a dream
and that there was
another real world
waiting for him on
the other side of the dream.
