"I wish you well world truly from the heart / And I will muddle through as best I can / An out-of-this-world otherworldly man // We both turn around but no turning back now"

While I Was Sleeping

 

While I was sleeping

The world was creeping

Away from me on tippy-toes

 

What went wrong neither of us knows

But now we can no longer recognize

Ourselves the way we were and realize

That somehow over the course

Of days and ways a divorce

Took place so we might as well finalize

This fact and just accept things as they are

Keeping our grace and not rolling our eyes

 

This solar system while no cookie jar

Is still not big enough as to allow

The luxury of never seeing how

The world and I are faring once apart

This calls for two sharp cookies which we are

And we will have to be urbane and smart

A worldly human humane world somehow

Sharing the universe better than worse

 

I wish you well world truly from the heart

And I will muddle through as best I can

An out-of-this-world otherworldly man

 

We both turn around but no turning back now
