the road stretches on from unknown destination   across open streams   through fields of carnations   it enters a city, a building   it stretches ahead   it stops at the feet   the feet of his bed      he's aware of a small inclination   a dream in a dream   he pays no attention   oranges hover and faces all over he knows   is how the dream goes      caught within a dream within a dream   a man within a man   caught within a thought within a thought   an ocean so deep    he will drown in his sleep      ths winds whistles lower and the windows are yielding   the telephone rings in the opposite building   a voice with a likable, unrecognizable air   it runs in the walls   it isn't quite there      he's aware of a change in the weather   a dream in a dream   he'll think of it later   a wonderful melody line that he couldn't quite get   he couldn't remember   he'd never forget      caught within a dream within a dream   a man within a man   caught within a thought within a thought   an ocean so deep    he will drown his sleep
