still doing it. 2014

  

do I still do it

when I think of you

 the way I did it back then

with each daily dose of you

 you sent via text?

 Do I still dream the same dream

long after it is impossible

for any such dream to come true

no matter how many times

I click my heels or wish to be back in Kansas?

Of course, I do

 can't keep from doing it

lost in the same fog now

as back then huddled in the basement

waiting for the text I know

will never come

and I must rely on what was

 rather than what is

 the archive of memory and photos

the imaginary flight I take after dark

 which one is not ever you

 looking always wishing for the dream to come true
