in my nightmares I have a wife and children
I celebrate the holidays and I listen to songs to "uplift" my mood
I'm picky about what I eat and I tell my wife how much I love her
in my nightmares I wonder if I have lived a good life.
In my nightmares I don't envy the dead and I go to check-ups regularly to make sure I'm healthy.
In my nightmares I have a purpose to fulfill. I have responsibilities and I make sure to get enough socializing.
In my nightmares I hangout with my friends on the weekend to watch the games and cool-off.
In my nightmares I live so perfectly it makes me puke.

I met a genius on the train today
About six years old he sat beside me
And as the train ran along the coast
We came to the ocean
And we both looked out the
Window at the ocean
And then he looked at me and said
"It's not pretty"
It was the first time I'd realized that
