scrambled dreams    scattered schemes    ideas flashed on the mezzanine    the balcony's crowded with narrow scenes    colorful dreaming liquid sleep        poached eggs dreams    wet and fried    homage to the dreams that died    rules that flutter    into melted butter    dreams design    their own red line    fried dreams my dreams    your dreams ours    evening slips and then devours    sheets around us    lights dimmed black    shadowed visions    on our backs    your dream is my dream is our dream complete.

bizarre as you are    you know that it's true    not everyone caring    cares about you    bizarre as you wish    could you possibly be    like hair on a fish?    or gills on a tree?    how much of it's youth?    comparing the beauty    too tight yet too loose    impossible duty    bizarre as you are    absurd as can be    so highly abnormal    when done gracefully.    -- douglas brent smith  

 Read The Dictionary Upside Down collage by douglas brent smith Notes: "Who do you mean to be upside down?" "You'll know." "Are YOU upside down or is the dictionary to be upside down and how am I going to read it that way?" "In a relative sense, it's all your choice." "I thought so. You don't know." "That's your choice, too." "Isn't that YOUR choice?" "Also true."

we touch upon the wheel's edge  admiring and yearning for the endless turning we speak about the zen of when the hollow meets the solid road but space unending ends unanswered the endless questions of the snow change the motion of our plans touch me with your steady hands. -- douglas brent smith
