Standing in the middle of the stage

microphone taped to my face

singing my heart out

Handcuffing the mass murder who

has been loose for decades

lowering his head

into the cop car

Catching that tiny ball in my net

scoring the finishing score

end of a long and tiring lacrosse game.

Oh, Dreaming dreams

I’ve only dreamt to dream before.

Dragging the bow loose

across the cello string

faster and faster

until the scene decides to calm down

Dressed as a large, fat, purple sea witch

while singing to a skinny red head.

Pressing a yellow no. 2 pencil

against paper

writing to my heart’s content.

Oh, Dreaming dreams

I’ve only dreamt to dream before.

Opening my laptop

one day to see the screen shining

with the number 5,000

next to a blue square with a white T in it.

Singing in front of a webcam

for the whole world to see.

Walking into a large auditorium

that has a large hanging sign that says

“Vidcon.”

Finally meeting the idol

I’ve only dreamt to dream

to meet before.

Oh, Dreaming dreams

I’ve only dreamt to dream before.
