Do you know that feeling
of running in the rain
toward home
like you are escaping
a shower
that is already waiting
inside
just running
and running
no destination
only motion
I think
someday
I will slip into a parallel world
where one second here
is an hour there
and suddenly
my sight changes
the sky opens
meteors falling
from a starry ceiling
for a moment
I wonder
will it land on me
no
I still belong
to my world
I don’t want the weight
of another universe
my shoulders
are already awake
something floats above
messages
bubbles in the sky
in that other world
words are sent
without fear
everything visible
honesty
before it learned fear
here
we speak in codes
because words
become gossip
and truth
learns how to hide
we need language
to play with
lego bricks of thought
stacked
and restacked
inside
my head
then
I arrive home
the rain was heavy
cats
dogs
everything falling
I am wet
clothes
skin
bones
my heart
still dry
