Almost In My Dreams

Evey now and then I cross the border 

while I am almost completely awake

into the world of my stored dreams

my dreams that seem untouchable

sometimes I catch a glimpse of one

sometimes it's one, then another

Eating in yeshivish relatives house

and trying to escape via bathroom

Being in college and it feels so real

And in a dream cliche I owe work

Waiting at a small town bus terminal

for some small time undercover work

my old shul rabbi and me at a wedding

A magical bar full of great people

Almost missing a flight out of Israel

Starting over again in BMT/Gruss

These are the few I can touch now

Others will taunt me later, have before

Sometimes when they tell me that I can

Sometimes I want to live my dreams

Old dreams sticking tongues out at me

Letting me feel I will re-enter them

And then we go our separate worlds
