Opened my eyes
Shut the window
 
Crested twenty – one pearls
Q tipped my wax wells
 
Watched PBS
Watched Fox
 
Drank two cups of coffee
Drank two cups of milk
 
Planted a moon dog
Pulled up a cattail
 
Ate an English Muffin
Ate a slice of Pumpernickel
 
Listened to Bob Dylan
Listened to Wayne Newton
 
Rode the wind through a White Pine
Climbed the stars between Mpingo branches
 
Deep fried a Dixie Chicken
Baked Alaska
 
Sailed a desert
Painted an ocean
 
Bought twelve American Beauties
Sold a dozen chocolate éclairs
 
Felt a field mouse roar
Touched a show dog’s whimper
 
And when I forgot to vote
I remember waking up.
