A Non Sequitur Peace Poem by Michael Fischer

I awaken from sleep
...without any reason
to get up out of bed

Why should I?

It's cold out there
...the economy's bad
...money's tight
lips are loose
and love's a parody

The 'same thing, different day'
sounds rehearsed in mirrors
...and days don't seem different
...and neither do colors for that matter

I awaken from sleep
...without any reason
to get up out of bed

Why should I?

When my world is my bed
...where I always feel warm
...where my dreams are fulfilled
...where my Arizona Sunrise
is always shining bright

Why would I leave?
You're here my dear
...and besides
...you won't let go of me!
