Never Awake

For C. Mehrl Bennett & Mark Bloch

The dream of reading a sentence on a

page is the dream of knowing you're

dreaming and writing the sentence; it

is the dream of erasing your sentence

while waking in your dream which is

the dream of burning an insomniac

tree. The dream of burning an

insomniac tree is no dream at all, but

is the sentence you wrote while falling

awake: the dream of falling awake is

the dream of a dictionary in which

each word is the same word, a word

you have written over and over, but

will never remember nor dream of again
