let me tell you of a dream i had sweating one late summer s night i couldn t believe what i was seeing from where i lay inside when i awoke from my slumber i couldn t believe my eyes when i awoke from my sleep the clouds had fallen from the sky as if whales had poured from the sea it seemed the clouds poured from the sky and laid on the beach so breathlessly and patiently waited to die now the air it sticks the air it sweats the air it blocks all the light the air looks like it did in my dreams as i lay bed that night as if whales had poured from the sea it seemed the clouds had poured from the sky and laid upon the beach so breathlessly and patiently waited to die everyone s asking around about a beautiful world they knew me i just look toward the ground and the clouds cover my shoe when i awoke from my slumber i couldn t believe my eyes when i awoke from my sleep the clouds had fallen from the sky
