There is nowhere I want to see. Nowhere I want to go. I just want to lie down here and sleep as long as I can. I want to close my eyes and have that be it. But every day I wake up and I try and make my world happy cherry fake. I wave at the old man, I pet the dog, I smell the flowers. Only the fact that my feet hit the floor keeps me from being a ghost. I wish I could descend down through the floorboards, past the kitchen, into th e crust of the earth, past the Secret Chiefs, fall through the magma and out the other side of the world and just float and fall and close my eyes as the lack of gravity spins me through the galaxy until I burn up on reentry on a planet I've never seen.
